PPPoE Connections
Some DSL and cable modem providers require that you use PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) to connect
to their systems. PPPoE connections are managed using the pppoeconf program. As long as your
computer is connected to the broadband connection, it should be able to detect most of the set-
tings automatically.
Package Management Using APT
For most users, APT will be the primary tool for installing, removing, and upgrading packages.
This section shows how to use the apt-get and apt-cache utilities. From the console, you can also
use the aptitude utility, which acts as an interface to apt-get.
Managing the List of Package Repositories
The configuration file /etc/apt/sources.list contains a list of Debian package repositories
that APT will use. Like most configuration files on a Linux system, this file is a plain-text file that
can be viewed using any text editor or pager. To view its contents, run the following:
# pager /etc/apt/sources.list
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux _Sarge_ NetInst]/ stable main
deb http://ftp·us·debian·org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://ftp·us·debian·org/debian/ stable main
deb http://security·debian·org/ stable/updates main
