Ok of course there are going to be alot of packages that need to be reinstalled onto the new server so it would be appreciated if you could give me a hand in finding all the ones we need.

It would be most appreciated if you can find as many of these packages at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_packages and just give me the package name (don't worry about dependancies) so it can just be apt-get'd. If however your particular package doesn't appear in the debian package repsoitory then feel free to link to the source or offsite deb archives.

Please have all requests in this format:
package name - why you want it installed

Thanks.

Development/c-cpp-reference (2.0.2-3) - I never used this reference tool before, but it sounds really interesting to have handy.

I would help, but I'm not good at Debian stuff

curl - just to practise with curl and php

GLib, irssi, tcl. Just the usual is fine with me.

maybe the vim editor I am happy with that. I mean if that is not by default on the installation.

Oh wait, I don't even have a shell or have requested one, well, maybe you can install that for when I do apply to get one .

I probably don't have the right to ask for...

I'm trying to learn some programming, and it's important to install

"build-essentials" So anybody could compile his C code.
I'll understand if it's not posible though, thank you.

http://www.awakenedworlds.net/AwakeMUD-0.8.16B.tar.bz2 - sorry it is just source - the associated web site is here: http://awakenedworlds.net/ The installation instructions seem to be rather lacking - it does have a Makefile though....

Awakened Worlds is a MUD. No one made a decision on which MUD to install so I made an executive decision because I think this will be a fun one. This is the one I mentioned in the MUD discussion a month or three back

AwakeMUD is a highly-evolved CircleMUD based codebase set in the world of Shadowrun from FASA (Now FanPro). It is based on the 3rd Edition Rules and follows the canon rules as much as is possible in a MUD environment. It features a fully detailed Seattle Metroplex and surrounding areas. From the grimmy Ork Underground to the wide open plains of the Salish-Shide lands and the contrasting rich/poor divide of the gateway to Tir Tairngire, Portland. All types of play are catered to, from Hack and Slash to Roleplay and everything in between. The only criteria is you have fun, and don't spoil anyone elses.

As for deb files, aside from standards like irssi, gcc, tcl, php, apache, lynx etc:

bsdgames - classic UNIX games. Needed on every shell - even if just for historical purposes
bsdgames-nonfree - a couple more classic games that every UNIX system should have installed
aee - a simple text editor. Even easier to use than pico or joe.

[mod: Merged your two posts. Next time use the edit button, thanks.]

nano?
can't really think of anything... i only ever install stuff when i need it

apache lol

i would like pebrot ill find it later and edit the post classic MSN client

http://pebrot.sourceforge.net/

Needs python

libpng: http://libpng.sourceforge.net/
mysqltcl: http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/
gd-2.*.*: http://www.boutell.com/gd/
libpcap-0.9.*: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/libpcap.html

It might already be installed, but I'll mention it anyway:
screen

Screen rocks. Screen + irssi = win

Hi,

here goes my package wish list for X-mas (or sooner, if possible ):

bbdb - address database for my e-mails.
procmail-lib - for my procmail recpipe (mail filtering).
recode - for translating encodings.
gauche-gdbm - for my CGI scripts written in Gauche Scheme.
gauche-doc - Nice to have also the documentation for Gauche Scheme.
fetchmail - for fetching mail from my other POP3 account.
libterm-readline-gnu-perl - for having Readline available in Perl.
tidy - to check and clean HTML files.
w3m - because it's my favorite textual Web browser
aspell-de - I'll do spell checking with it.

Thanks and regards
Thomas

Imagemagick? I've already suggested/requested it when filling the questionaire.

notepad++ - http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ - text editor - I am so used to it now it's weird to use ee / nano / emacs or any other editors.
Thanks!
