C.3. Recommended Partitioning Scheme
For new users, personal Debian boxes, home systems, and other single-user setups, a single / partition (plus swap) is probably the easiest, simplest way to go.

If you know the name of the executable, you can use the which command to find the location of the binary, but that doesn’t give you information on where the supporting files might be located. There’s an easy way to see the locations of all the files installed as part of the package, using the dpkg utility. dpkg -L <packagename>

As a follow up to my previous post which gave an overview of various security technologies that can help greatly fortify Linux against attacks, I decided to provide a little tutorial aimed at putting one of these technologies to practice. Specifically, I will give an overview of how to use the Mandatory Access Control system known as AppArmor.

Overview This article is part one of a two part series that covers setting up a hosting server using gitosis for your central repository, and in the next article, taking an existing SVN repository and running the appropriate scripts and commands necessary to migrate it into something git can work with.
