From what I understand VBox is much better on low end hardware and may be your answer. I've mentioned it before, but it probably bears mentioning again: While KVM/QEMU pe...

Re: NFS common
Soooooo, are you going to tell us WHICH REPO nfs-common is on or what??? Why? nfs-common is in the main stable repo, as a cursory search on packages.debian.org would reveal. The appropriate source lines for said repo are on the debian wiki, as they have ever been. Don't post a problem again without...

Re: [Software] Backup Advice and Software
copy those folders onto an eSata drive doing rsync, mounted to /mnt/backup. ... Now what I'm wondering is what's the next best step, since Backup is separate from Server. Rsync works just fine over a network, that's it's intended purpose. If you want more features than plain rsync, there's rsnapsho...

Re: [Software] What is the function of cp debian.iso /dev/sdX?
I would like to ask why the copy operation is performed on the entire hard disk space. Because it's a hybrid bootable disk image, so it includes partition table, boot sector(s), and filesystems. That's how disk images generally work. A cp to a block device node is roughly equivalent to a dd to the ...

Re: [Software] Install VirtualBox
It was removed because they did not made secure patches to flaws Linux devs told. It was removed because Oracle wouldn't provide backported security patches for the version Debian was shipping, which means the only way to have those fixes is to run the latest upstream release. That obviously won't ...

Re: [Software] Install VirtualBox
Virtualbox is (last time I looked anyway) available from the debian-fasttrack repository.
As to your other questions:
Probably.
No, unless you add their repository.
No, as above.

Re: [SSHD][Banner]Auto generating SSH Banner from Issue Files
TBH, I'm not convinced calling getty just to process the escape codes in /etc/issue is the easy solution here, why not just generate the output you want with a shell script? Getting release information and IP4 address isn't complicated. I'm likely preaching to the choir, but you should also be caref...

Re: [Discussion] What change, if implemented, would cause you to leave Debian?
Forced adoption of systemd (now past tense, and I moved all my Debian systems to Devuan some time ago. I still consider that "close enough" to Debian though, since 90+% of packages are verbatim). Removal of support for traditional daemons where systemd has similar functionality (e.g. loggi...

Re: [Installation] I need help installing a package.
cd to the debian I said top level - beside 'debian', not in it. As the message states, it's looking for "debian/changelog", starting from the current directory. You'll probably also want to add the '-us' and '-uc' options, to build without signing the package (unless you already have your...

Re: [Installation] I need help installing a package.
The directory you linked contains debian build control files (i.e. control and rules). In theory, you should be able to clone the repo and use dpkg-buildpackage (from dpkg-dev) in the top level (beside 'debian') to build a .deb.

Re: [Software] Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
You'll need to run 'update-grub' (or grub-mkconfig) after building a new initrd to add it to grub.cfg. Note the difference between the entries for 6.1.0-17 and 6.1.0-18, the later is missing the initrd call.
