Debian squeeze support release schedule (also RHEL/CentOS 6)

Sorry for asking a question… I saw the original thread started on 10 Feb that said “about a week”, then a list of other replies providing workarounds, then nothing for 2 days so I figured I would ask since (as of the time I asked) I was beginning the process of setting up another server and thought it would be ok to ask for a concise answer at that time so I’d know whether to go with lenny or if I could now go with squeeze instead.

Anyway, sorry for asking a simple and what I thought to be innocent question when there was no other information available at that time. How stupid of me…

It is offically supported:
http://www.virtualmin.com/os-support
Debian 5.0 and 6.0

Virtualmin scientific work with linux when it comes out? Or will have to wait Centos

I would ask a question. SC is about to exit. Virtualmin Centos released when it is released? Or rather when you will draw out Virtualmin Scientific Linux.

Thanks

aptitude sucks… period - The one time I used it I hosed up the sever which would have never happened if I had used apt-get.

???

Hi, I do not speak very good English. Just wanted to know if you will when you leave Virtualmin scientific linux.

Thanks

Hi, since the support for Debian 6 seems to be official, I’ve tried to install Virtualmin on a Squeeze fresh box with the script from download page, but the installation fails due (I think) because that script is still the one non-squeeze compatible (v1.0.4 ?? ).

Does I need to download the new script from another location or it’s simply not working for me?

Thanks

The script from the download page should work. What is the exact error you are getting?

I’ve tried also to reinstall Debian 6 on my VPS, apt-get update and upgrade, checked the hostname and used the install script … nothing else to eventually mess the installation. From the installation log I can’t understand well which error causes the FATAL, maybe this:

-E: Unable to locate package webmin
-E: Unable to locate package usermin

/usr/bin/apt-get --config-file apt.conf.noninteractive -y --force-yes install postfix postfix-pcre webmin usermin ruby libapache2-mod-ruby libxml-simple-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl unzip zip libfcgi-dev failed. Error (if any): 0

here the full Log: pastebin.com/LVXf2kU3

there is any operation to do BEFORE the installation?

thanks

Actually I’ve fixed myself the installation by adding

deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-squeeze main

deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-universal main

to /etc/apt/sources.list

Virtualmin seems to work well, but on Debian 6 the script doesn’t install automatically many services (mysql,clamd,proftpd,spamd,…) as the CentOS one does. I’ve installed them manually from Virtualmin UI, not a big problem :D.

Hope it helps and thanks you again.
