How can I find which Linux distros have specific Apps. Movestuff, LinuxNewbie

Hi All. This is my 1st Q post... likely simple stupid Qs, but whatever.

I'd like to use a Debian system. but try as I may can't get past the installer.
Soo I found ubuntu/kubuntu is deb based, but want typo3 & the lampp server,db package.
I want to get an outo'the box distro which includes Typo3 and all the lampxx (?) apps for CMS net programming to load to net.

All replies welcome
Thx movestuff

I don't know if Ubuntu keeps a public list of default packages, but I compiled a list of the packages on my Ubuntu 8.04 Server Edition (minus the ones I installed myself of course):

If the packages that you need are not included, you can install them very easily using the Debian-esque package manager.

This:

is probably more revealing by what distros are not represented. Either the package is extremely easy to compile or there is probably a good reason why the two biggest enterprise distros (RH&Suse) are not represented. While I do not know typo3 I would suspect that the later is more likely.

MoveStuff, Welcome to LQ.

It doesn't matter whether or not a package comes with a distro, because you can always install from source

Code:

package-name.tar.gz

You need to have the

Code:

lsb

, linux standard base package installed. Then you can install from source. If you use Debian, which has 26,000 available packages, you'll have what you need. You would use

Code:

synaptic

as your package manager, and use the search button.

Code:

synaptic

will automatically install any dependencies for you.

That package is in Debian. Did you try using Debians graphical installer ? it might appear a bit easier for you. boot your Debian installer CD/DVD and at the boot prompt type installgui

Code:

boot: installgui

then press <ENTER>, Debians installer should launch with a GUI instead of text based. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUI

http://packages.debian.org/etch/typo3

Code:

user@it-etch:~$ aptitude search typo3
p   typo3                          - Powerful content management framework (Meta package)                        
p   typo3-dummy                    - Empty TYPO3 site package for starting a new site from scratch               
v   typo3-src                      -                                                             
p   typo3-src-4.2                  - Powerful content management framework (Core)                                


user@it-etch:~$ apt-cache policy typo3
typo3:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 4.2.3-1
  Version table:
     4.2.3-1 0
        500 http://ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu lenny/main Packages

Not sure what you mean by lampxx

to setup a lamp server in Debian I just do this (su - to root first)..

aptitude update
aptitude install apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client-5.0

once that install is completed, I should have a working LAMP server. (hasn't failed me yet)

I hope you have not been stuck here for over a year!!...

If you tell us what issue you have with the Debian installer, I'm sure someone can help.

For a listing of what is included with various distros, you can look at Distrowatch, and usually the home page for the distro.
