Why runlevel 2? That makes no sense to me.
It's the second one you need.
I thought runlevel 2 was no network? I have always ran linux on runlevel 3.
The tricky part (must be) related to the fact that I am
building all my own stuff on /opt and not /usr/local
I'll always build my own web server software, but I love
that I can use dselect simply every day to keep the entire
OS perfectly secure.
The primary reason I want to move to debian is apt-get, like you I am very
interested in keeping my OS secure. I worry a lot though.
One apt seems to install things in /var/lib (huh??) I am used to installing
things in /usr/local or /opt (in fact I want to be more obvious and create
/apps and /data and call it a day!
OTOH I want to make sure I compile php and postgres with the options I
need. What happens when I download the source and recompile it will install
in /usr/local. Will Apt know what version I have? If I do a --prefix and
install it in /var/lib/postgres and then an upgrade comes out later will it
overwrite my custom compile. Should I just say screw it and only rely on
apt for system and compile my own apps?
So many questions for a debian newbie where is the debian guide?
