Debian Linux packages of the open-sTeam server
We provide packages for the Debian Linux distribution. The open-sTeam server is already included in Debian itself, but those packages are usually older than the ones we offer here.
We currently provide installation packages for the following Debian versions:
Note: We have experienced xslt problems with the Pike version that comes with Debian Etch (Pike 7.6.93) and threading problems with Pike versions 7.6.112 and newer. We strongly recommend that you use the older Pike 7.6.86 that we are offering in our open-sTeam APT package repository and on this website.
Note: We have experienced threading problems on systems running Linux 2.4 kernels. We therefore recommend to run sTeam servers on systems running a Linux 2.6 kernel. Debian 3.1 (Sarge) installs a 2.4 kernel by default, so you should explicitly choose a 2.6 kernel when installing or switch to a 2.6 kernel after install.
