Hey,
I use netinst CD installed Debian Sarge 3.1 successfully. I only
installed base system no any other stuff. I can use SSH to connect to
remote server. If you could give me some hints regarding to the
following items, I would really appreciate it?
in general `apt-cache search <keyword>` finds the package you need,
though you often have to search for the correct name (it often finds
other 'related' packages that do not really give what you want) ;
`apt-cache show <package>` tells you what a specific package gives you
(that package name you got from `apt-cache search` for example)
1. Which package should I download so that I can browse webpages as
how I'm doing under Windows? This is very important as lots of
webpages will give me how-to instructions. Do I use apt-get
xxxxx? Or something else?
There are a number of options here (different browsers are available),
but mozilla or mozilla-firefox is good; `apt-get install
mozilla-browser` gets the browser component of the mozilla suite,
`apt-get install mozilla-firefox` gets mozilla-firefox
2. What about Desktop management? I think I can either use KDE or X
servers right? Most likely I'm wrong. What I want is that I can
open a terminal to enter commands not the old MS style, So that I
can use Crt+tab to move betwen termialls?
You need both - kde needs a working X server; try these commands:
`apt-get install x-window-system-core` to get the needed packages for X;
use `apt-get install kde` to install the complete kde suite
3. Can I use apt utility to download CMS such as TYPO3? After
downloading does all of the users can have access to it, I mean
except root? If this is possible how can normal users do it?
Sorry this I don't know
As you see, I'm totally a newbie. The relevant link is highly
appreciated as well!
Thanks a lot in advance!
No problem, we had to learn this stuff ourselves too ;-)
HTH,
Joris
