I read this version have packages more recent. I want install mail server. Is anybody installing the debian version 7 ? Atenciosamente, Rodrigo Faria Tavares Packages are far more recent than on Debian 6, yes. However, debian 7 is currently the testing branch, named wheezy. It is not officially stable enough to be considered as stable, for Debian quality standards. It is frozen for many months now, but I have no idea about when it will become the official stable. My own opinion is that it is enough stable for normal users, but I think that since a server does not needs last versions of softwares, stable is better for them. Some people will say that unstable is better for security issues, because it is harder to exploit flaws when the software changes constantly. I am not a professional admin so I will not say they are true (in fact, I think some of those arguments are very interesting). Now, remember that some distributions like Ubuntu are built on Debian sid, aka Debian unstable, and are sometimes installed on servers.

Some years ago I was trying to install distro with jigdo, and gave up. I have never seen such a confusing, stupid thing in my life! If the program is not available as a straight download and burn, don't bother with it. Jigdo has improved greatly from the early days where it needed to be manually driven. Now it is very similar to bittorrent versions. If you are only ever downloading one image then it is easier to download a simple image. But that takes a long time and causes a high load on the single server feeding you and 10,000 of your closest friends the same image. After doing that twenty times you start looking for faster and more efficient ways to do this.

I have emailed the manufacturers over 2 week ago now but still waiting on a response.

Since I use Dropbox to sync files for my other computers, I decided to install it on my Debian squeeze box and see how things went. I downloaded the .deb package from dropbox.com and installed: # dpkg -i dropbox_1.4.0_amd64.deb Selecting previously deselected package dropbox. (Reading database ... 213217 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking dropbox (from dropbox_1.4.0_amd64.deb) ... Setting up dropbox (1.4.0) ...

(Again, Nautilus is *not* needed in order to run Dropbox. It's just warning you to exit and restart it if you're using it.) So far, so good.

[y/n] y Downloading Dropbox... 100% Unpacking Dropbox... 100% Dropbox isn't running! Done! At this point, I checked and found that in my home directory were two directories, .dropbox and .dropbox-dist - the later being where it installed the proprietary daemon and supporting libraries. The .dropbox directory looks like it's got settings and a couple of named UNIX sockets. Checking the .deb package that had been installed earlier, I found that /usr/bin/dropbox is a python script that handle manipulating (and downloading if needed) that binary. Cool beans. Ok, so *now* to start it up! $ dropbox start -i To link this computer to a dropbox account, visit the following url: https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link?host_id=6ff61b77b102c00f0dc930b88fd37563 Ok, not quite. :-) I posted that URL into my web browser, which asked me to login with my regular username/password. Once I had logged in, it asked me for my password one more time to link the computer to the account. It said all was now well. Tried to start it again $ dropbox start -i To link this computer to a dropbox account, visit the following url: https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link?host_id=6ff61b77b102c00f0dc930b88fd37563 Hmm, I thought that was odd, given that I had already done that.
