Installed, all good so far!

Thanks lwfitz

I don't want to be a passenger, I want to able to drive the bus!

Thanks for your time VastOne.

Thanks, and yes I agree that the sid/unstable is a pain!

So you aren't getting anything from experimental now?

Thanks vastOne!

Lightening quick as usual!!

How would I differentiate debian unstable and siduction unstable?

Hi

This a learn thing for me, I could setup and just use VSIDO but I would rather understand how it all hangs together.

I have had a look at: preferences, apt.config and sources.list, and been here

I'm wondering which repos the xfce packages are being drawn from?

Oooooh like the 660 GTX!

Just noticed this, but will have to wait until tonight to install About time been wait for this for a while.

Looks ok to me, I'm not ready to put a video card in just yet, but will probably go for nvidia.

I would be interested in some advice on Partition Table Types:
aix
amiga
bsd
dvh
gpt
mac
msdos (default?)
pc98
sun
loop

I have a 120Gb ssd and 2TB HDD. I was thinking msdos for ssd, and gpt for hdd. I am planning on using virtualbox and 1 vm will be for windows, unavoidable unfortunately.

I went onboard graphics for the time being, I'm a software developer and mostly design business and database layers, so don't have heavy graphics needs usually. I now work for a company that does large scale heavy duty image manipulation, so will get a graphics card when I sort out what I need.

@Jedi No worries about messing things up, it's a clean first time install with all new hardware, and at the moment I'm using google-stable. Thanks for the help, should be good to go.

There is so much old info out there, it's difficult to tell what is what any more!

Thanks guys.

Now I have plenty of space and grunt to test my live-build scripts, other distros. THis will be sid and it's my main system, but not the only one I have.

I've been reading up on SSD's and still haven't got my head around the best partitioning structure.

sda /boot ?
      /
sdb /home
      /swap?

/var in ram ?

fstab
sda discard, noatime

Any suggestions?

I thought this was quite interesting too.
