Configuring your Debian VPS is a breeze with these easy to follow articles

The Debian VPS tutorials take you from a 'barebones' VPS to a secure, up to date and steamingly quick server in very little time.

Security is taken care of with an iptables firewall and the latest web applications can be easily developed with a full MySQL and Ruby on Rails stack with subversion and postfix support.

These articles will give you a deeper understanding of how things lock together and what happens when a working VPS is created. Having an understanding of how it works aids in averting any potential problems and makes for easy administration.

Debian VPS Setup - page 2: Configure the terminal and bash commands followed by updating the new Debian VPS to include the latest security updates.
