I’ve installed Debian Linux on a machine here at home as one of the servers I have in the UK has Debian loaded.
Firstly, I downloaded a inital cd image of 180 mb and wrote the cd, and then installed the base installation.
After that installation was so easy with the apt-get install etc. commands.
I installed subversion in 2 secs almost, quite nice, BUT still learning new stuff about this linux every day……
