Contemplating a Debian Installation?

by Kyle on March 10th, 2007

If you’re not yet a new Linux user and you are trying to decide whether or not to make the jump, LXer gives a high level overview of what to expect when installing Debian. The article is very conceptual (it does not have any screenshots) and covers topics such as:

  • Know your options
  • How much control do you want today?
  • Stepping through the standard installation
  • Wrapping up the installation process

Debian GNU/Linux used to have a reputation as the toughest GNU/Linux distribution to install, yet the easiest to maintain. In fact, Debian’s package management system has played a huge role in the proliferation of projects based on Debian. Suffice it to say that anyone who can install their own operating system can generally install Debian Etch with little or no trouble. If you’ve never installed Debian before, it’s fairly easy to walk through the default installation without realizing you have options.
