Ubuntu-First Impression
Since nearly all three of you that occaisonally read this blog think Ubuntu is the best part of the multiverse, I thought I would install it last night. After the installation that went pretty smooth, I decided to install Webmin. Here is the difference I see between installing with Ubuntu vs. installing with Fedora.
To install Webmin with Ubuntu:
Step 1 - $apt-get install webmin
you do not have permission
Step 2 - $sudo apt-get install webmin
package not found
Step 3 - go to sourceforege and download webmin
done
Step 4 - Install with Package Installer
dependency libauthen-pam-perl not found
Step 5 - $apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl
you do not have permission
Step 6 - create a root account so you don't have to remember to type stupid sudo with every stupid command
Step 7 - #apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl
package not found
Step 8 - Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove comments from 4 lines
WTF Ubuntu?
Step 9 - #apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl
package not found
Step 10 - Google libauthen-pam-perl
Step 11 - Find mirror and dowload and install dependency
Step 12 - Run package installer for Webmin
dependency is not satisfiable: libmd5-perl
Step 13 - Google libmd5-perl
Step 14 - Find mirror and download and install dependency
Step 15 - Run package installer for webmin
downloads two more packages of something and installs
Step 16 - Run Webmin.
Hangs browser
Step 17 - Now that it is installed, switch to FC6 box, run Webmin and connect to Ubuntu machine.
Success.
Here is how I installed Webmin under Fedora Core 6:
Step 1 - #yum install webmin
done.
My first impression of Ubuntu - It should have a giant clock.
UBUNTU = LINUX VISTA
