Server Created by Virtual Box

Specs :
Intel core i3
RAM 1GB
Storage 20 GB

3 disk Iso files of Debian 7.8

Now I have the basic tutorial to Installing Debian server, in this case I am using Debian 7.8 as Server installation. In this post, I will display the full steps to Install Debian 7.8 as Server. I am using the Virtual PC as PC Server by VirtualBox.

The first step we need to create the virtual server from virtualbox, after created we need the ISO files Debian 7.8 there is 3 disks. ISO Debian 7.8 files is free you can download here for all disks.

To install Debian server is by Disk 1, mount the disk to the PC Server virtual and run the PC to begin installation.

Select Install to start the installation by Text Mode (press Enter), you can to install by Graphical Installation too, but my tutorial is using Text Mode.

Configure the Network
This is the important point, some times this point is bypassed, if on the network there is an active DHCP server service, I suggest to disconnect the network connected to the server being installed, so we can fill in the static or manual IP on the server. Just press Enter,

This is important part, I am using virtual server, so my PC server is not powerful, so I don't recommended to install [ Debian desktop environment ], because it will decrease you PC server power. About all other software I am not choosing right now, I will install them later.

FINISH.
Installation is completed.

    The hardware that has been aged, is still very useful and can run well on Linux. In addition, never found newer documents can not be read on older versions of Linux @azizali
