Personally I have chosen Debian Testing but it is the same for the stable branch.
First of all, I recommend that you download the Debian Testing iso from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current-live/ , the most current ones give failure in the installation with some files, for now ..., until they solve it.
If your computer needs a private network wifi drive, you will have to download it, you will need it for the internet connection. The most common are in http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unoff … /firmware/ , inside the file "firmware.tar.gz".
A small trick to install Debian Testing is to do it from a USB-pendrive, for that you need the application "Unetbootin" http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, with it you copy the debian iso file to the USB-pendrive. Use this manual if you need help http://www.puntogeek.com/2010/04/28/cre … netbootin/
Later you copy the file "firmware.tar.gz", downloaded earlier, on the USB-stick where debian has been copied and unzip it.
And now, you can start on the computer where you want to install debian with the USB-pendrive.
There are many extensive guides on installing debian stable or testing, you can try these, which are quite clear:

Installing Debian Squeeze with encrypted partitions
http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com.es/2011/ … e-con.html
Once the installation is finished and after restarting the computer you have a fairly simple and somewhat ugly debian. I use Gnome as a graphical environment and I don't like some things so I started to modify something to be more comfortable.
In the first place I had internet but the information does not appear in the notification area.
Open terminal and enter as root to modify the file "/ etc / network / interfaces" adding "#" in front of all the lines.
$ su
# nano /etc/network/interfacesWe will see more or less this than giving in this way;
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
#auto lo #iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#NetworkManager
#iface eth0 inet dhcpNow we save with Ctrl + o and then we exit Ctrl + x
We restart the network with the command
# /etc/init.d/networking restartYou log out and come back but if you still don't see it, you restart the computer and you will see that you can configure the Wi-Fi network from the notification area.
To configure the debian repositories file from root terminal with "su" command from terminal:
$ su
# nano /etc/apt/sources.listWe edit the previous lines with "#" in front and below we copy the text
## Debian Testing deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
## Debian Security
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main
## Debian Multimedia
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free
deb-src http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free We update with the command
# apt-get update
# apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring && apt-get updateAnd now we save with Ctrl + o and then we exit Ctrl + x
If we use Debian Stable we only change where it says "testing" to "stable" and let's not forget that we are using the versions of the current cycle marked as testing or stable. If the developers change the cycle passing the version from testing to stable, in the testing branch you do not have too much incidence if you follow updates with relative frequency (you always stay in the "testing" branch) but in the stable branch "stable" you will have problems because there are too many differences between the old stable and the new one.
Careful with this! To avoid this, the name of the version "squeeze" for the current stable and "wheezy" for the current testing is usually put.
The autologin (automatic user input) is quite comfortable but I could not configure it from user accounts in System Configuration. So I had to do it from the root terminal by editing the file "/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf":
# nano /etc/gdm3/daemon.confFind the values and replace it with
"AutomaticLoginEnable = true" and "AutomaticLogin = your_user_name" without "#" in front
Example:
# GDM configuration storage
#
# See /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas for a list of available options.
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin= nombre_de_tu_usuario
[security]
[xdmcp]
[greeter]
[chooser]
[debug]We save with Ctrl + o and then we exit Ctrl + x
We reboot system
If you have enough Ram, you can make less use of the swap and that there is a greater tendency to use the ram, which is much faster, we edit as superuser:
# nano /etc/sysctl.conf At the end of the file we add the following line
vm.swappiness=10We install some packages and programs:
Many distributions come by default with "sudo" for tasks that require root permissions, but in Debian Testing it does not come by default.
If we want to use it, from the superuser terminal we write:
# apt-get install sudo We add the user or users to the sudo group
# gpasswd -a tu_usuario sudo We reboot system
If you have problems with sudo because of its configuration you can do it this other way.
We modify the sudo configuration file with the nano editor
# nano /etc/sudoers Below these lines we add our user
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
tu_usuario ALL=(ALL) ALL Save the changes and restart the system.
…………………….
Another more elegant way is to create a group called sudo
# groupadd sudo We add the user or users to the sudo group
# gpasswd -a tu_usuario sudo We modify the sudo configuration file
# nano /etc/sudoers Below the lines we add the group sudo
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL Save and reboot system.
Improve some load performance at system startup
$ sudo apt-get install preload We will remove exim4 and evolution that are installed by default:
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge evolutionBe careful, don't try to uninstall Empathy or Totem in this way because it will try to uninstall gnome-core (the gnome desktop package with necessary programs and libraries)
We remove gnash (like flashplayer but free)
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge gnash gnash-common
$ sudo apt-get autoremoveProgram that allows you to enable and disable services / daemons that run on the system and with a graphical interface.
$ sudo apt-get install bumTo use the graphical interface to create groups and users, you must install an application that is not installed by default.
$ sudo apt-get install gnome-system-toolsTo activate themes and icons, we installed a gnome-tweak-tool
$ sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-toolInstall some decompression and file-roller formats (compression format manager)
$ sudo apt-get install file-roller p7zip-full p7zip-rar rar unrar zip unzip unace bzip2 arj lha lzip Install improvements in nautilus

$ sudo apt-get install brasero-cdrkitJust install the necessary programs or the ones you want, I like a desktop that is the most complete even if it has several that do the same.
We installed Icedove because we uninstalled evolution (thunderbird copy mail client)
$ sudo apt-get install icedoveWe install Iceweasel (browser copy of firefox)
$ sudo apt-get install iceweaselInstall gedit and synaptic (text editor and package manager "deb")
$ sudo apt-get install gedit synaptic Install gdebi gthumb inkscape and parcellite (deb package installer, image viewer, vector graphics editor and clipboard manager)

$ sudo apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemplm-sensors installs the driver for the motherboard sensors and hddtemp for the hard disk.
During the installation of hddtemp, it will ask us if we want to run the hddtemp daemon at system startup, we choose YES, and leave the other default values
We execute the detection of system sensors
$ sudo sensors-detect By doing this, we will be asked several questions, we all have to answer YES.
We restart the system and we will have the sensors installed and configured.
Installation of wine-unstable, it is the last packaged version, it is the one that I use and install without problems.
From this link you download the packages corresponding to your 32-bit or 64-bit version
http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/
You copy the downloaded packages to a folder with the name you want for example "wine-unstable", inside this you open a terminal and copies.
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb && sudo apt-get -f installIf the installation fails for a library you can find it at
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/wine
If you don't want to install experimental wine use the one from the official repositories
$ sudo apt-get install wineCreate launchers on desktop
First we have to have gnome-tweak-tool installed in Gnome Shell and then we install gnome-panel
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel Now we are going to create a new launcher by executing the following command from the terminal on the desktop:
$ gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Escritorio/ --create-newEasy ... Nooo?
Linux trash on NTFS partitions
Normally when you delete a file / folder from a disk / partition in Windows NTFS format it does not go to the trash, it is permanently deleted.
There is a trick so that it goes to the trash of our user, modifying the file “/ etc / fstab”.
First we open terminal and obtain the id of our user
$ id nuestro_usuario We check and see that the rule is uid = 1000 (user) gid = 1000 (user) ...
Then we edit the / etc / fstab file
$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab We add the parameters ", uid = 1000, gid = 1000" in the disks with the string ntfs-3g
Save and reboot system.
Example:
/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 Caution: Before touching the / etc / fstab file, make a copy of the original in the home / user folder in case it fails after the restart. This is how you recover it with a live cd.
Possible solution to pulseaudio on Debian
Sometimes pulseaudio may crash.
I found a simple solution but it must be said that it does not solve the fact that the sound card works, it is only the initial configuration of the pulseaudio service.
From the terminal
$ sudo gedit /etc/asound.conf We add the text:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
} In case you need it you can reinstall pulseaudio
Share folders from nautilus, as a guest and without password.
First we install the packages
$ sudo apt-get samba nautilus-share And then we reboot system
Once "samba" is installed and the system has started, the following error can occur when sharing folders from nautilus:
The "network share" returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory / var / lib / samba / usershares. Error Permission Denied You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
In debian I fixed it by adding my username "to group sambashare"
sudo adduser our_user sambashare
Then to activate the guest access box when sharing folder, modifying the samba configuration file:
$ sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf Add after [global]
[global]
usershare allow guests = yes
security = share And to finish we restart the «samba» service
$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restartWith this we have the possibility of sharing the folders that we want from nautilus, as a guest and without a password.
RAM-disk to optimize Firefox
What we are going to do is put the firefox cache in a ramdisk
We create the folder named .RAM in your / home / username
We put a point in front to make it a hidden folder
First, in firefox we write in the address bar "about: config"
Second we accept the warning and in the filter we put "browser.cache"
Third with the right button, New / String, and we write:
"Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" and assign it the string "/home/username/.RAM"
I remember you, always without the quotes and username = your username
And finally, edit the / etc / fstab file
# nano /etc/fstabAnd you add the text at the end
tmpfs /home/nombre_usuario/.RAM tmpfs defaults 0 0 Save file and reboot system.
Fix blurry fonts in Firefox (Anti-aliasing issues)
1- From the menu:
In System Tools-Preferences-advanced settings-Fonts:
Hinting = Full
anti-aliasing = Rgba
2- Open terminal and write:
$ sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10*
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
$ sudo fc-cache -fv3- Restart user if necessary.
Run portable 32-bit programs on debian and 64-bit derivatives
Installing packages
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtkDownloading a necessary package, it is from Ubuntu but no problem. It is because of the version with which the programs have been compiled that you can find here http://portablelinuxapps.org/
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse2_2.8.1-1.1ubuntu2_i386.deb Extracting and copying folders
$ dpkg --extract libfuse2_2.8.1-1.1ubuntu2_i386.deb libfuse
$ sudo chown root:root libfuse/lib/lib*
$ sudo mv libfuse/lib/lib* /lib32/
$ rm -r libfuse Then we add our_user to the fuse group
$ sudo adduser nuestro_usuario fuse And we reboot system

Changing GDM3 for MDM
GDM3 is the gnome access manager (the home screen where it asks you for username and password to enter the system), but I don't like it and I prefer something more similar to the previous GDM.
MDM is the Linux Mint Debian access manager that is much more configurable, with theme support and with new options on the login screen.
Download the packages mdm mint-mdm-themes
http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php? … ebian#main
You install it with gdebi from nautilus. Gdebi may ask you for the library "libdmx1" and we accept. During the installation it will ask us which manager we want to activate among those that we have installed and it will continue with the process. When finished, we restart and we will have the new login screen.
Now we can configure it to our liking with the input window tool from the menu-system tools-administration.
To switch between different managers, we just have to type in a terminal:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure mdm If you get a failure in the installation of "mdm" you have to first uninstall "gdm3" and then try the installation of "mdm" again before restarting.
Under no circumstances DO NOT REBOOT without first having installed a “gdm3” or “mdm” access manager.
Change the appearance of Gnome 3 (Gnome Shell) to customize it to your liking
The first thing is to make a backup of the current theme, this is done by writing on the console:
# sudo nautilus /usr/share/gnome-shell Which will open the Nautilus manager in the / usr / share / gnome-shell directory, which is where you will always find everything regarding the Gnome 3 settings for your user account.
You will see that there is a folder called theme, where the default theme is located, this folder copy it and paste it in a safe place.
Now search the web for themes for Gnome Shell, Gnome 3 or GTK3 (all are alternative names for the same thing) in Deviantart you can find several very attractive visually, if not, a simple search in Google will take you to different themes. Choose the one you want to install and download it to your computer.
Then proceed to unzip the theme file to any directory. You will see that inside the main folder of the theme there is another folder called gnome-shell, rename it to "theme".
Reopen Nautilus with administrator permissions in the directory where the downloaded theme is located, and click to copy to the "theme" folder (the one you just renamed). Then go back to / usr / share / gnome-shell and paste it, if it asks you to replace say yes.
Head back to the terminal and type:
$ pkill gnome-shell In this way the new theme is active.
To install icons in Gnome 3
Installing icons in Gnome 3 is very easy through a program called: Gnome-tweak-tool. To install it, once you have a theme downloaded from the web and unzipped, go to the terminal and type:
# sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool Then, go to the themes folder using:
# sudo nautilus /usr/share/icons Open a new tab with ctrl + t, in which you will go to the folder where you have unzipped the icon theme, click on copy and then paste in the other tab (the system icons).
Now open gnome-tweak-tool and go to the Interface tab, from where you can choose the new theme for the icons.
You already have your personalized desktop to your liking.
In summary, the interesting routes are the following:
usr / share / icons …… This is the path for the icons
usr / share / themes …… This is the path for the themes

Install Java 7 from repositories
It is valid for debian 7
The folks at Webupd8 offer us a PPA repository designed so that it can work with Debian and we can install Oracle Java 7 (JDK7), which is possible because Java is not really in the repository, but the installer is in it.
The process to install JDK7 begins by adding the repository to our /etc/apt/sources.list. For example, we can edit it as root with gedit
$ gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list We have to add the following two lines
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu specify main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu specify main
We save the changes, and now we are going to install the public keys of this new repository and update the information of the repositories.
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886
$ sudo apt-get update And now we can launch the installation
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer And we already have Java in its most recent version

Install firefox 18 on debian
Download from:
http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/moz … .0.tar.bz2
Once downloaded, we enter the console and locate where the downloaded file is and unzip it.
$ tar -xjvf /home/usuario/Descargas/firefox-18.0.tar.bz2 In case we have Firefox installed, we must uninstall it from root, with some of these commands.
# aptitude remove firefox
# aptitude purge firefox
# rm -R /opt/firefox/ We write back to the console as root:
# mv /home/usuario/Descargas/firefox /opt/ We create a shortcut. We write in the console as root:
# ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox Now we can use Mozilla Firefox 18

Great guide.
Use the beta4 that is most up to date: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4
Does the image that you recommend has no errors?
I think that if you have an error, use the alpha as the article says, I always thought it was my fault for not putting the firmware right.
If it's "MEA GUILTY" for not checking it out sooner.
Better version http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4

In fstab add "noatime, barrier = 0" on ext3 / 4 partitions to optimize performance.
And what would this do?
Well that tunes the network parameters for desktop, the default parameters are more for server.
Excuse the while true of posts, a question: Where exactly do you unzip the firmware.tgz? It always gives me an error, I need it for a Realtek ethernet.
Debian sucks [0] but your guide is excellent, two enthusiastic thumbs up!
[0] Sorry for the trolling, it's my duty every time I see something related to Debian 😀
What distro do you use @msx?
He uses arch
Since you are and as "stick" for elevation you should have answered "Garch" xD
This is not a guide on what to do after installing debian, this is more than this, it is a distro of its own.
Very good guide, I had read it in the forum and it is very interesting.
Thank you very much, maybe in a virtualbox I try some of your tips 😀
Interesting, very good contribution compa, something never falls badly about debian.
ahahahah !!! Debian, my old acquaintance. From time to time I miss its stability and its problems, hehe !!
Their problems??
Greetings KZKG, I always had problems setting up the wifi (Broadcom 4312), and I remember once spending three days trying to solve it until I got bored. Outside of that, I was looking for problems, because by trying things out, I broke something. That if, I clarify, did not say it thinking that Debian was a problem or was full of them. In my opinion, it is still the most stable distro that exists.
Besides, to add that Debian was the distro through which I learned a lot about Linux, and without being an expert, I owe it a lot of what I know.
great manual !!! Excellent!
Debian, my 2nd favorite distro after Arch, good guide
Hello, how are you, I really like the style of this blog, what theme are you using?
Salu2
Thank you
We don't actually use any normal theme, we fully develop this theme that you are seeing: Link1 & Link2
We will also make several changes for the next version, when we release this other we will make public the code of the previous theme (that is, of this one that you are seeing): Link
Very good guide, I keep it in case I ever decide to install it.
regards
PS: Then they say that Fedora is complicated!
Thank you very much for the contribution, very complete and very interesting.
Excellent contribution!
EXCELLENT!!!
you ordered the information salad that I had written down to install Debian.
thanks friend ..
very good tutorial !!
Excellent.
There are parts to update. ia32-libs no longer exists as a package. Now the 32-bit libraries in a 64-bit environment are installed independently, it no longer makes all the libraries install
I left it in case someone who kept a stable version prior to the current test needed it.
For the rest, a great tutorial (sorry, I missed the Enter)
Great companion guide. I, who am still in diapers with Debian, something like this is great.
Thank you.
Great tutorial. With this, the one who says that he does not dare to install Debian is because he wants to.
And to top it off you mention my blog twice
An honor and a pleasure! Thank you!
Excellent job, yes sir, especially when I see myself among the mentioned blogs 😛
Good tutorial. The only but that I put is the title of the entry, because it should be something like "What to do after installing Debian (with Gnome environment)", because clearly much of what is indicated does not apply but to that desktop nothing else.
Greetings.
Look here http://buzon.en.eresmas.com/
This link was in the manual, so as not to repeat many concepts about the KDE desktop, I put it. They are also very well explained.
And how you will check in the other links there are also many and complete explanations of debian.
Thanks for a good guide well explained for us slow ones
The exact release date of wheezy as stable is not yet known?
When this number is 0, wheezy is released.
http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi?release=wheezy&merged=ign&rc=1
I have a problem regarding Wheezy and I don't know if it happens to someone else ... the first one is that I can't save any settings in GNOME 3 I get this message GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
the other is a problem in locale where the keyboard is deconfigured and I change to English and every once in a while I must use setxkbmap latam so that it returns to normal
my blog: http://www.blogmachinarium021.tk/
I have read in some Yankee blog that they are going to go until the end of April - the beginning of May
For normal people who enjoy an operating system: Ubuntu
For nerds and antisocials: Debian
: )
For the most curious I invite you to try BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD)
A question about samba, before I shared a shared folder in my home and what I did was create links to what I wanted to share inside, for some samba versions I have disabled this for security, you have to go to smb.conf and put wide_links = enable or something like that but I've dealt with everything and nothing.
Any solution?
Forget I just solved. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92183
Your guide is excellent, thank you very much, he has been a great help to me.
Very good friend, one of the best I have seen.
just a problem when I try to install mdm it tells me that it conflicts with gdm3 but if I try to uninstall gdm3 it will uninstall gnome?
that I can do?
It doesn't uninstall Gnome, just that it's more configurable than gdm3.
Hahahaha got together several debianeros bloggers to celebrate XD.
Excellent.
Excellent contribution friend…. Great
Excellent article, just great, it will come in handy, because I want to change the main distro from Ubuntu to Debian. Thanks a lot
Excellent article, it helped me a couple of times and I learned a few things to optimize the system, greetings!
I have Manjaro Linux installed on a laptop and it works fine. My desktop computer had Windows, but the damn thing is failing a lot, after backing up all my information I am thinking of installing a GNU / Linux Distribution, but I have not decided yet if for Debian or Fedora. This is why I am going through every possible Linux dedicated site and get an idea. Greetings from a LiveCD.
The repositories did not work for me, I got errors ... the key did not work the same muxas thanks C:
Hi. I think this can very well complement the steps after installing Debian Wheezy (also for those asking about firefox):

Great guide
Hello, first time I write here, but I have been reading your blog for a long time, until recently after a couple of years of using X distro, which I honestly do not complain despite the occasional failure, it worked well for me, I finally decided to give The jump to Debian I have almost finished it, I did a lot of the tutorial, everything working except for the network icon that does not appear, and the most curious thing that although it is not mentioned in the post, it may happen to someone else who is integrate new users, and the question is that the computer does not turn off, restart ... I have a desktop hp dc7700, I have spent a long time searching and there is not much, if you can give me an idea I would be very grateful. Greetings and keep going
Hello, good night, I'm from Argentina; I am new to Linux and I have currently installed debian 7 (very stable truth) but I have two problems that I need help to solve:
1- I would like to change the gnome environment if possible because I don't like it, and I don't know how to do it. Or at least tell them how to install an application that allows me to modify folders such as changing the horrible gray color it has. I already tried to download the folder color application but it did not install me from the terminal. It tells me that it cannot locate the package, etc. (I have seen that a friend has Kubuntu installed and for example he can change the color of folders, make them transparent, in short, many things)
2- I can't see facebook videos that they send me because it tells me that I have to download Adobe Flash Player; I want to know which version I should download for linux debian 7 and how to install it. I have the firefox browser installed.
I know this for someone with experience in this operating system is insignificant but for someone like me who is just starting out, the info would be very good.
Best regards, the blog is very good.
Excellent very complete guide indeed. I am testing GNU / Linux Debian Jessie and it works very well on my laptop.
Thank you .. It was perfect for Siduction: 3
hello I hope you are very well =).
I am new to gnu / linux, I used windows before until I tried but there are consas that even when I read I lose xD, if you can explain me better where exactly I extract the wifi firmware, thank you men for the dedication =)
Very good article, I would add some things but very good.
You have to correct this part:
apt-get nautilus-share samba
the "install" is missing.
Regards!
