planckscale's Journal: Knoppix/Debian install

Found out how to use apt-get to install gtkrellm and sendmail.

Simply issue the command(s) from the prompt:

apt-get install gtkrellm

apt-get install sendmail

This makes installing apps on Debian a breeze. I got sendmail installed but I've been running into problems sending and receiving mail from different domains. It's worked on a couple occasions, and I can send and receive email too and from work, but we have our own DNS servers here and perhaps the rest of the net is still unaware of my IP. Have to give Register.com 3 days for the changes I made to my records permiate the *cloud*. Once sendmail's installed, webmin is a great tool for configuring accounts and mail settings. Still, I can't figure out if my current problem is a DNS problem, I bungled the installation, or Cox.net has closed my ability to run a webserver. Same with Apache. I can see my websites if I change the default port within apache to :88, but if I leave it at the default, I get a DNS error - cannot find server. I'll install apache on my XP machine to see if it's my Apache installation, or my D-Link firewall/router. I'm thinking of doing a complete install again because of the newer version release of Knoppix 3.24.03. I'm currently running 3.21.03.
