sidux Quick Start Guide
OVO JE VRLO VAŽNO: sidux, kao Linux LIVE-CD, je bazirana na high compression(visokoj kompresija) tehnologiji, (inicijalizirana od Knoppix, ali opet nije isto kao Knoppix) i zbog toga, dobro pazite kad pečete ISO-datoteku. Samo koristite CDs visoke kvalitete [ili DVD+RW] i pecite sa DAO-modusom (disk-at-once) i ne brže nego x8.
sidux is 100% compatible with Debian sid. sidux packages that override packages in Debian sid are always temporary and are used until the problem package is fixed in the sid repositories. Extra sidux specific packages include things such as scripts and tools.
Debian sid/unstable stability
sid is a name tag for the unstable repositories of Debian. Debian sid is a frequently updated repository that is quick to stay in sync with latest and greatest upstream versions of software maintained. Because of the frequency of updates, less overall testing on packages is possible from the shortened period of time between upstream and distributed Debian packages.
sidux kernel
The kernel is sidux optimised to help offset issues, add new functionality, or configure for faster performance and better stability and tweaked from latest kernel from http://www.kernel.org/. .
The kernel is mirrored here: Upgrading the kernel
Package Management
sidux is fully compliant with vanilla Debian sid. Debian uses apt-get and dpkg for software package management.
Debian sid has over 20,000 packages, so you should be able to find the one you would like to use with Package searching with apt-cache or Package searching with kio-apt
To install the package apt-get install <package name> Installing a new package
apt-get is used for management of packages in conjunction with debian and other repositories identified by the files at /etc/sources.list.d/*
Debian sid's repositories are updated once or twice a day on average so the list of available packages and their versions get out of date fast. Running apt-get update is essential before installing any new packages or before running apt-get dist-upgrade to keep up-to-date with the server's list of packages.
Debian variants, Source and RPMs
Source installs are not supported. If you really need to compile your application, do it as user, and put it under your home directory without installing it to the system. Using checkinstall and and converting RPMs with alien (and others like it) to a deb are not supported.
Debian variants often use different file locations for various applications which could cause system instability and some packages won't install due to unresolvable dependencies from different package naming schemes or odd version numbers. For instance a different version of glibc could cause the application to not even run.
Upgrading the system - dist-upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade is the supported way of upgrading sidux. Using any graphical front end to update sidux is not supported. Upgrade of an Installed System - dist-upgrade
A dist-upgrade is supported only outside of X. Running init 3 from your window manager (KDE, XFCE, etc) or in a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f2, etc) will stop X from running and allows you to upgrade safely.
smxi
smxi, is a sidux community contributed multi-function administration tool and one of its core features is to allow quick and easy installation of 3d video drivers. smxi also includes some level of automation for installing virtualbox-ose and qemu.
sgfxi - Graphics Driver Installer (proprietary nVidia / ATi and Open Xorg drivers)
This tool automates the task of installing the nvidia and fglrx drivers necessary to get the full functionality out of your nvidia or ati graphics hardware.
NVIDIA - sgfxi is usually updated on the day a new driver comes out and includes common options in xorg.conf for 3d to run properly.
ATI - sgfxi can work if the fglrx packages in sid work with the version of X currently installed and the kernel you are running are matched. Because of the randomness of compatibility and naming schemes of each new version of fglrx, ATI delivery can be, at best, well below expectations. Check the forum and/or IRC chat .
sgfxi can also revert to open source drivers with the -n <driver> or -N <driver> command.
Binary, non-free drivers for: Nvidia / ATI
Network Configuration
Ceni is a network configuration tool to quickly configure your network or wireless card with little fuss. The wireless function can scan for networks, use wep and wpa for encryption, and use wireless-tools or wpa_supplicant for wireless configuration. Ethernet is straight forward if using dhcp (automatic ip address assigning) or you can manually set it from netmasks to nameservers.
Ceni is run with the command Ceni or ceni . If not installed, you can install it with the command apt-get install ceni.
Runlevels - init
sidux run levels are different to debian see: sidux runlevels - init
Other Window Managers
KDE, XFCE and fluxbox are the sidux defaults. Gnome is not supported by sidux. Gnome as a window manager in sid repositories is known to be unstable and can cause issues at this point. Some users in the sidux forums /wiki and IRC chat may have experience and be willing to help you, otherwise you are on your own.
