up on debian (i'm working on testing). so i would be happy if anyone
has
good links or can give me some hints on how to set it up.
This was pretty helpful for me:

And of course, the official docs. The Quick Start Guide is a must:

As for the SSL bits, you'll need a certificate. If you don't plan on
purchasing one, there are some good HowTos here:

Keep in mind that you can use Start TLS on port 389 (which is what I
always do). You don't have to use SSL on 636.

Don't try to tell me a thing is important to you if the whole of your
"support" entails forcing others to spend time and money on it.
