 I was going through the Augeas tour, which is very helpful to get
 familiarized with Augeas, and I encountered a few problems that I wanted
 to report. I believe that these problems all are related to the fact that
 I am running on a Debian system, and the Tour was written for a RedHat
 audience.

 One issue, that is probably not OS related, is that you tell people to do:
 sudo chown -R $USER $AUGEAS_ROOT, but you need to also have group perms
 set, or the 'save' in the first example fails

 On a Debian system, grub is not in /etc, so the grub config tour, which I
 think is a very good one to demonstrate some of the different concepts of
 Augeas, cannot be undertaken. I tried copying the grub configs into my
 $AUGEAS_ROOT, but augtool didn't recognize them. I understand that the
 augeas stuff in Debian recognizes the correct location, but the Tour
 documentation is working off of the $AUGEAS_ROOT temporary location.

 Finally, there is a mention of 'gendiff'... I had no idea what this was,
 and thought it was some augeas built-in, but it seems like its a RedHat
 diff program of some sort.

 Anyways, great tour!
