I have worked with Centos quite a bit in past though no expert. Giving Debian a whirl now.
Installed Debian on a 1U box. Used a 1TB drive and EXT4. Linux debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 root@debian:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 916G 661M 868G 1% / tmpfs 497M 0 497M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 493M 112K 493M 1% /dev tmpfs 497M 0 497M 0% /dev/shm Unchecked all options when installing since I wanted only essentials since this will be a rack mount server. After I installed I found ssh was not installed. In Centos when I want to update or add a package I do this: yum update or: yum install package_name To find a package I also frequently do something like this: yum list available |grep abr_package_name To get ssh going I finally did this from console: apt-get install openssh-server It demanded I plug the USB CD-ROM back in. Now I have SSH running and can eliminate the keyboard and monitor. After getting ssh installed I edited /etc/apt/sources.list and commented out the CD to get it to quit asking for the USB drive which will not remain on the system. Now on Centos when I do 'yum update' after a fresh install I usually get offered a good number of patches etc. When I do 'apt-get update' I seem to get nothing. So are there really no patches available or am I doing something wrong? How do I get it too download and install new packages with apt-get or whatever rather then using the CD? Is there a FAQ or something out there for users coming from CentOS to Debian? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
