How widely is Debian used for production?
I am seeking help identifying installations that use Debian in production. Specifically, for database servers, and ideally for web sites that read from and write to a database. To give some background, I've given some spare time help to a small company setting up a web site, helping them to install and use an Oracle database on Potato, so far just for development. Naturally, I think Debian, as the 'Universal Operating System', would be a good choice for eventual production use also, but there is some reluctance in the company. If you know of installations or web sites that are using Debian in production, please let me know (or if you think Debian is *not* a good choice). Thanks -- Nick

Ethernet trouble
Seeking help using a network card in a PC. The card is a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 LAN card. The PC is a 'home-built' machine, using an Asus P3V4X motherboard. BIOS is "Award Medallion BIOS v6.0". Debian is as installed from the 2.2 official CDs, plus a custom kernel in case it helped - no difference I can tell, the details below are while using the custom kernel. All help welcome, and I'd be happy to give more details.

So I increased it to 10 - much nicer. Except that on page 1/2, line 62 is omitted (all but a thin slice along the top). Page 2/2 begins with line 63. A workaround: A couple of changes to defaults have fixed it for me: ps-header-lines from 2 to 1 and ps-header-offset from 28.346456692913385 to 14. This prints 64 lines on page 1 and page 2 starts at line 65 - much better.
Trouble with toy network
Seeking help persuading a desktop and laptop to talk to each other over a private network (192.168.0.0). The 'link' LEDs at both ends remain dark and no communication appears to be taking place. Ping from either side results in 100% packet loss, and telnet from either side results in 'No route to host'. It's just some silly misconfiguration, I hope. More details below, all help welcome. Nick Desktop --- Mostly Slink plus upgrades to get to 2.2.14. It has two Linksys ethernet cards. One connects to a DSL modem, the other to the laptop. The card connected to the DSL modem works fine, the other doesn't. The result is the same with the cards' roles swapped in /etc/network/interfaces, so I know that both cards can work. Same with cables swapped, so both cables are OK. netbase version is 3.18-1.

Let me see if this makes sense... The archives directory "/var/cache/apt/archives" contains the .deb files for packages installed since the last "apt-get clean", performed either explicitly or via dselect. A .deb in the archive is (typically) equivalent to the current version installed - it could be different (probably newer) if you do an "apt-get --download-only" or perform some kind of manual intervention. If I want to able to use the archive for a downgrade, I should copy it somewhere safe *before* beginning the upgrade. Is this correct? Has anyone used this, or any other mechanism, to rollback (completely or partially) after an "apt-get upgrade" or an "apt-get dist-upgrade"? Thanks -- Nick
How to back-out an apt-get upgrade
Can an apt-get upgrade (or similar) be backed-out? Say the upgrade appears to fail, is there a way to rollback to the previous state? I am running 2.1. -- Nick
