===========================
Debian Linux
===========================
Some gotchas from installing debian a few times:
* Massive ``ssh`` headache issues from around 2007-2008; make sure to check on
these.
* ``git`` is not what you want; you want ``git-core``
* Python transition should be better, but I couldn't find a way.
To get to python 2.5 on etch, do something like::
Edit /usr/share/python/debian_defaults to this Code:
# the default python version
default-version = python2.5
# all supported python versions
supported-versions = python2.4, python2.5
# formerly supported python versions
old-versions = python2.3
# unsupported versions, including older versions
unsupported-versions = python2.3
Then sudo pycentral updatedefault python2.4 python2.5
And change the symlink /usr/bin/python to point to python2.5
