When you uninstall apps on Debian does it do a good job of cleaning up all of the files and dependencies that an app uses, or does it leave a bunch of files on the drive that may become problematic from a security standpoint?Īfter having issues with file permissions using the graphical text editors, I abandoned all gui elements on the Debian server and spent about 8 hours learning how to do everything that I wanted from the command line.
As I learn more about Linux and running a Linux server, I will cull more and more apps until I get down to something that I am comfortable with that still simplifies my server duties as much as possible. How would I do that?Īnd, I was thinking about installing the whole LXDE or GNOME desktop with apps and then deleting the apps that I really don't need or want on the server - mainly because I am completely new to Linux and don't really know which apps I can use to simplify running my new server and which apps I will not need. I'd like the LXDE desktop to launch automatically when I log in, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make that happen. Is that right? Did I miss something there? To that end, I installed LXDE using sudo apt-get install lxde-core but the startx command would not work until I install xorg using sudo apt-get install xorg. I've installed Debian 7.6.0 in a vmware workstation 10 without any desktop or packages to emulate the Debian 7.0 minimal installation that will be on my new server as closely as possible.Īlthough I can use nano or vim to edit files and such, I am new to Linux and I prefer a graphical text editor and desktop while I learn about running a Linux server.
