A quick browse of the forum will illustrate what I mean: Some beginners who are very new to Debian, or Linux in general, seem intent on trying the most bizarre 'installation' procedures, with the excuse they are doing so as a learning experience or something.
Not at all. That post was intended to refer to users who fail to follow straightforward basic system installation procedures, or who start mucking about installing applications from source that are already in the official Debian repositories, and who blithely issue root commands, ignoring or failing to heed warnings, with often dire consequences, and THEN -- when their system is hopelessly muddled -- ask for help.
So far so good, the installation is done as well as it's basic configuration. I had ran into some issues earlier where opensip would not bind itself to a port. I would run netstat -natup and port 5060 would not show up. When consulting /var/log/messages, I saw the following message:
Dec 13 14:07:20 mrvoip opensips: WARNING:core:fix_socket_list: could not rev. resolve 192.168.1.234
Dec 13 14:07:20 mrvoip opensips: INFO:core:init_tcp: using epoll_lt as the TCP io watch method (auto detected)
This was solved after some google searches and by making a static entry in my hosts file. After making the change, I rebooted the box and the message disapeared:

So now I'm onto configuring xlite on two PCs and see if I can get them to ring.
Actually, at one point before you helped me, I was about to start downloading a bunch of lib packages and start manually installing them. I had like 30 repository source entries.... I'm glad i didn't screw myself however I'm not one to be afraid of the good old format.... All I really had to do is take an hour and read up on apt-get, aptitude and dpkg (-s, -S, -l, -L) which would have avoided 20 dumb questions and 2-3 hours of wasted searching.
Anyways, back to work but thank you again for your help.
