I'm starting to use UEFI. Never wanted to on servers, but it looks like it is the way of the future. So, this is focused on UEFI.

Installing or upgrading a Devuan system that used this site would result in an unusable web server. The package maintainer, who has been doing this work faithfully for almost a decade and whom the community owes a debt of gratitude to for his hard work, determined that the package for Debian based systems would n… text/html 2021-04-30T06:45:07+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://kb.unixservertech.com/unix/linux/debian/recipes?rev=1619765107&do=diff Devuan Recipes Share your network connection I had an issue where I was trying to set up a fail over firewall, but I did not have two Internet sources, so could not easily test it. I had a Wireless Hotspot, but no way to plug it into the firewall. So, I connected my laptop to the Hotspot, then shared that connection with the second WAN port on the firewall.

The first part is to create an entry so the grub bootloader exports both the standard console (tty0) and the serial port to the console. This allows you to monitor the boot process, but ceases at the point in the boot process where the Linux init system takes over. text/html 2019-02-11T07:19:21+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://kb.unixservertech.com/unix/linux/debian/start?rev=1549869561&do=diff Debian/Devuan Linux Debian Linux was created by Ian Murdock in 1993, and went on to become one of the most widely used Linux distributions. It is the basis for many other Linux distributions. It was named by combining Ian's wife's name (Debra) with Ian's.
