[Koha] how to download debian server edition

[Steven Santos]

When it comes to a server, there is a big difference between the 32 bit
(i386) and 64 bit (AMD64) versions in terms of performance.  In the little
bit of testing I have done, and in all of the testing I have seen, you
really want to be running this in a 64bit environment.  Thus far, I have
found Ubuntu Server Edition to be a very good platform for running most
server based applications.  And yes, it is Deblian based.

I've found it takes so long to download that it's worth paying the GBP 5 or
whatever that people charge for sending you the DVDs.

This isn't an especially Koha specific question, but... 

 

Debian is debian as far as I understand. There isn't a server specific
distribution of it, you simply choose the bits you want to install during
setup. (I'd imagine, by server you mean no desktop environment while running
mysql, apache2 etc).

 

There's hundreds of Debian mirrors out there, and many methods of install.
Personally, I use a Net install which I find to be pretty reliable and easy
with the following steps;

 

1.	Download the correct version of Debian for your hardware (probably
i386 for most common 32bit processors) from the "small CD's" section of ;
http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst
2.	Burn that image to CD
3.	Stick it in the computer you want to be a server
4.	Follow the Setup wizard selecting only the components you want in
the final step (beware, Desktop Environment is usual auto selected,
un-select it if you want a server without the graphical interface)
5.	Look at your shiny new server installation... cursor quietly
blinking at you.
