Cscm: /* Installation Guides */

[http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux] is a free operating system with a focus on stability. It's based on a sophisticated package management system that lets you choose from three releases of varying stability. The software packages included in the ''stable'' release have been tested thoroughly and are ideal for a server environment, whereas ''testing'' and ''unstable'' releases have more recent versions of software which usually contain some bugs. Ironically, Debian's ''unstable'' release is often more stable than many other distributions' final releases.

==Installation Guides==

Zoneminder is now in Debian "unstable" (as of 2007-03-12) so you should be able to just "apt-get install zoneminder" if you include
"unstable" packages. Alternately:

*[[Debian 3.1 install|Debian 3.1 + Zoneminder 1.22.x]] Installation Guide (ZM from source - without ffmpeg) using ''stable'' packages

*[http://www.zoneminder.com/fileadmin/downloads/ZoneMinder_install.doc Debian + ZM] Installation Guide (using a [http://www.spic.net/zoneminder/ debian ZM package] requiring ''unstable'' ffmpeg/libavcodec2/liblame0)

*[[Debian Etch]] The above are outdated

*[http://www.csquad.org/cocoon/tags/public/zoneminder/zoneminder.html Debian Etch + ZoneMinder 1.23.x in French] Installation Guide for Debian in French.

==Installation Notes==
[[Debian init.d|/etc/init.d/zm script]] - slightly modified from the original to correctly echo output on debian
