Debian testing ubuntu-like setup
Ubuntu is getting a bit on my nerves. Time to test Debian testing!
I've installed a clean setup of Debian testing. Nothing installed! After installation I login as root and do:
apt-get install task-xfce-desktop
Next I install some extras to get arround the missing non-free stuff!
These scripts might override some stuf of yours! So be warned. You can paste the code snippets directly in your terminal as root!
Enable non-free and contrib:
cat > /etc/apt/sources.list << "EOF"
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
EOF
apt-get update
Get sudo support like ubuntu:
apt-get install gksu sudo
#add your account to sudo group and some others while we're at it
usermod -a -G adm,sudo,staff,games,users,crontab,dialout,cdrom,floppy,audio,video,plugdev,users z25
Add Debian Multimedia:
cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list << "EOF"
# Debian Multimedia Packages - http://deb-multimedia.org/
# DMM mirror list http://deb-multimedia.org/debian-m
# Note new updated repo line and keyring
# Secure apt: apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring
# Debian Testing
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free
EOF
apt-get update
apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring
#Accept to install without verification
apt-get update
After Debian multimedia install codecs and shit
apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad mplayer vlc ttf-mscorefonts-installer w64codecs firmware-linux-nonfree flashplugin-nonfree
That should get you started!
