+GDB is a complex program. There is an excellent Info manual (`info gdb'),
+which is available in the separate gdb-doc package. gdb-doc is not part of
+Debian main; it is available in the non-free distribution (because it is
+covered by the GNU Free Documentation License).
+
+GDB's documentation is also available online. Documentation from the
+most recent release branch may be found at:
+ http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb.html
+
+There are also a number of books and tutorials devoted to GDB. One
+particularly useful guide is Peter Jay Salzman's, at:
