I just installed Debian 3.0 r3. I'm a newbie and looking for some anwers to some of my questions...if someone can anwser one, some, or all Please....
1. I know that apt-get is the main utility to add and remove programs (in Debian anyways), also to veiw what is installed on your OS. But what about other packages or applications that are not installed through apt-get. Is there a another utility to tell you want is all installed on your OS, or to keep track of all software/packages/applications installed? 2. How do you check for all running services and how to start/stop system services that are unused? 3. How do you check for all open ports and what programs are using the ports. 4. What is the common folder Where most software/packages/applications installed into? 5. Anyone has a good site for descriptions of the configuration files on a linux system. For Example XF86Config-4. I have no idea of what configuration files do what or where they are located. 6. Where is the boot files? So I can control or know what programs start at boot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
