What are the features of Debian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Debian, as a Linux distribution, has all of the inherent properties of the Linux kernel. Debian is well known for it's portability and reliability, running on many servers and supporting close to a dozen CPU architectures. One of the most distinguishing features of Debian, though, is it's package management system. Package management is the process of making sure that the kernel, programs, and libraries are up to date, and installed and configured properly. A simple command-line utility called apt can do all of these things.

apt-get update

This command checks the repository (a server where the programs are stored) for updates.

apt-get upgrade

This command upgrades any installed programs / libraries.

apt-get install packagename

This command installs a program or library.

apt-get remove packagename

This command uninstalls a program or library.

Assuming latex, texlive-core etc are installed, simply run: latex file.tex from the command line. You can use pretty much any text editor to edit the files (eg. gedit, kate, leafpad, nano, vim, emacs). There are also various programs which can be used to convert from latex to other formats: latex2html, latex2rtf, pdflatex, etc.

Is there any way to get a functional driver for an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 for PowerPC on Debian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only 3D accelerated (what I assume you mean by "functional") drivers for NVIDIA cards for Linux are for x86 and x86-64 computers. The only support for Nvidia cards elsewhere would be the nv driver (which is already included), and only supports 2D acceleration.

How do you install a handrail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

for an ordinary straight handrail start by measuring up from the edge of the top tread 34 inches and make a mark. do the the same at the bottom tread and then connect the marks with a chalk line if wall is unfinished or if you are going to paint the wall after rail is installed. if its a finished wall then use a string tightly stretched between two nails. this line will be the bottom of the handrail. locate the exact centerline of studs at top and bottom and roughly at 32 inch spacing in between. locate studs using a stud locator [cheap at lowes or home depot] or tap wall gently with a hammer and you will hear a distinct solid sound when you are tapping directly over a stud. then use a very small finish nail to pierce the wall and locate the exact center of the stud. once you locate one centerline usually the rest will be 16 inches on center which will save you a lot of time. using a small level make a very faint vertical line at your centerline mark. then position your bracket by sighting across the top of the bracket to your string line and make pencil marks in the bracket screw holes. predrill screw holes or use 2 inch drywall screws to make predrilled holes. at this point you should have top and bottom and roughly 32 inch between bracket holes. make sure your top bracket is back beyond the leading edge of top tread by at least 6 inches and bottom bracket is the same beyond the edge of the tread. if no studs at these points use heavy duty wall anchors. measure your handrail about 4 inches beyond top and bottom brackets and install predrilling the holes into the bottom of the rail. if you want a slightly fancier look cut the handrail on a 22 and a half angle top and bottom and a piece to return to the wall cut on a 45 angle on the end to the wall and a 22 and a half angle on the end that meets the rail. use construction glue on the wall end and the end of the handrail[just a little. before cutting main rail or end pieces cut test pieces and position first so when you cut the final pieces you know what you,re doing. remember --measure two or three times and use test pieces first. it,s easy if you just take your time and enjoy what you,re doing. lots of luck! How to Measure for your Handrail or Railings These measurements enable us to determine the angle of your stair railing or your wall mount handrail. How to Measure Linear Feet

Pricing: by linear feet: The linear feet are found by determining how long the railing will be. The cap rail is the top section of the railing which is grasped by your hand as you climb or descend. The portion of the cap rail that curves down into the endings is not included in this measurement. IMPORTANT! For handrail, mounted to the wall on a staircase, we need to know on which side of the stairs the handrail is to be mounted when you are looking up the stairs. If stair rail is to be fastened to a wall as well as to the steps, we will need precise measurements.

How do you install netflix on your computer with debian Linux using the terminal?

Asked by Wiki User

You cannot "install" Netflix, as it's a web service that provides specially-designed streaming applications for mobile and entertainment devices. However, for PC users, it's all in the browser that requires the use of Silverlight. You may need Wine for it to work (under the Pipelight installer).

What is Debian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Debian is a free Linux distro. It focuses on stability and freedom (as in speech) of software. Debian is distinguished by it's excellent package management system. If you want a solid and stable server, Debian is an excellent choice. If you need more cuting-edge software (the stable versions of Debian are sometimes made fun of for having really old versions of programs), try a distro based on Debian, such as Ubuntu or Sidux.

What are the differences in performance for Red Hat Slackware Linux Turbo Linux and Debian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The differences in performance, per se, are negligible. The differences are in management style, how and where files are stored, kernel optimizations. RedHat (speaking of RH Enterprise Linux) is designed for business usage. The programs used are older, the kernel is older, but very stable and mature (current RHEL kernel is based on 2.6.9). The benefit of this is that programs such as oracle can be certified to run on a specific version, because they know *exactly* what versions of various programs will be on that machine by default. RedHat's kernel is also optimized for this purpose. Slackware is based on the unix-style of doing things, so people coming from a solaris or BSD background will feel comfortable in slackware. It's management tools are different, but there's not a lot of bloat included with slackware, so less space is used in an install. I have no experience with turbo linux, so I won't comment on that. Debian has the goal of being entirely free (including not distributing non-free software or those where there are possible copyright infringements). In addition, it's APT package manager is one of the easiest to use. For a more business-like version, look to Ubuntu. There are a large number of spinoffs of debian, such as Xandros, Ubuntu, and so forth. The biggest difference is what you need to do. If you're running oracle, use RedHat (or the new Oracle version of RedHat). If you need a box to run at home, go with debian - installing a new program is as easy as apt-get install (program). If you want to learn the differences more in-depth, pick one, install it, learn it, and then go to the next one.

How do you install PixelShader 1.1?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The pixelshader levels are built into DirectX. If you have the newest version of DirectX and still can't use PixelShader 1.1, then this means that your video card does not support it, and you will need to upgrade your video card. There is no other way around this.

technically yes, but with the money you will spend it isn't worth it. you would have to get the new engine, motor mounts, pcm, wiring harness, etc. and when your finished you will still have the v6 rear end, suspension, and rear drum brakes. even with the v8 engine it will not handle or perform like a stock v8.

How do you install a Lexmark x3350?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your printer should have come with an installation disk if it was purchased new, if not you can probably type in Lexmark x3350 in your search bar and navigate to a website that has a free download to install that model. If it is new and you already have the disk turn on your computer/laptop, connect the printer and insert the disk, wait for the hourglass/disk icon to appear on your screen and follow the step by step instructions until installation is complete.

How to install the distributor 93 gmc 350?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Set the engine to TDC and drop the distributer in with the rotor pointing at # 1 cyl ---- TDC of the compression stroke....not TDC of the exhaust stroke.. Use a long flathead screwdriver (don't drop it in the motor!!) to adjust the oil pump drive (inside distributor hole) so it will match up with the drive on the bottom of the distrubutor when you drop the dist. in. keep in mind that the dist. gears are helical, so you will need to set the rotor a few degrees counter clockwise, in order for it to drop in to the right spot. As it drops in, it will mesh with the camshaft helical gears, which will turn it clockwise. If you did it right, the base of the dist, will be flush with the intake.

How do you install a USB2 PCI?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Power down and disconnect the computer and remove the side. Install the card in one of the free PCI slots and tighten the retaining screw on the USB 2 card.

Put the cover back on, re-connect the power and boot-up.

If it came with a driver installation disk...

Windows may say it's found new hardware and ask if you want to install the drivers for it. Click NO.

When boot up complete, insert the driver installation CD in to the CD drive. It should start up, then chose the required option.

You may have to re-start your PC afterwards.

If it doesn't come with an installation disk then follow the instructions given when Windows reports "New Hardware Found".

What ISO image should you download to install full featured Debian Linux?

User Avatar

Asked by Rafiqur83

All Debian ISOs are "full-featured"; you can use any of them to install any Debian programs. The KDE and GNOME ISOs are probably best if you want a desktop system, and the netinstall is a better solution for servers and systems you need / want to customize heavily. However, nothing stops you from, say, installing KDE on the netinstall system, or installing Apache on the GTK system.
