Revision as of 10:38, 22 February 2017

This guide contain the steps i always do on first time login after installing Debian on a blank server.

  • You need root access for the first steps, so gain root access as secure as you possibly can.

Update Debian

This is a good idea to do before anything else.

  • Using the -y switch on apt-get will assume "yes" to all questions from apt-get.
  • Sometimes ca-certificates needs an upgrade, and to make sure you know this is done you will need to press q to continue the apt-get -y upgrade
