Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide Copyright © 2004, 2005 the Debian Installer Team Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide Copyright © 2004, 2005 the Debian Installer team This document contains installation instructions for the Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 system (codename “sarge”), for the Mipsel (“mipsel”) architecture. It also contains pointers to more information and information on how to make the most of your new Debian system. Warning This installation guide is based on an earlier manual written for the old Debian installation system (the “boot- floppies”), and has been updated to document the new Debian installer. However, for mipsel, the manual has not been fully updated and fact checked for the new installer. There may remain parts of the manual that are incomplete or outdated or that still document the boot-floppies installer. A newer version of this manual, pos- sibly better documenting this architecture, may be found on the Internet at the debian-installer home page (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/). You may also be able to find additional translations there. This manual is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

  • Well Known TCP and UDP Ports Used by Apple Software Products
    Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple Languages English software products Symptoms Learn more about TCP and UDP ports used by Apple products, such as OS X, OS X Server, Apple Remote Desktop, and iCloud. Many of these are referred to as "well known" industry standard ports. Resolution About this table The Service or Protocol Name column lists services registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (http://www.iana.org/), except where noted as "unregistered use." The names of Apple products that use these services or protocols appear in the Used By/Additional Information column. The RFC column lists the number of the Request For Comment document that defines the particular service or protocol, which may be used for reference. RFC documents are maintained by RFC Editor (http://www.rfc- editor.org/). If multiple RFCs define a protocol, there may only be one listed here. This article is updated periodically and contains information that is available at time of publication. This document is intended as a quick reference and should not be regarded as comprehensive. Apple products listed in the table are the most commonly used examples, not a comprehensive list. For more information, review the Notes below the table. Tip: Some services may use two or more ports. It is recommend that once you've found an instance of a product in this list, search on the name (Command-F) and then repeat (Command-G) to locate all occurrences of the product. For example, VPN service may use up to four diferent ports: 500, 1701, 1723, and 4500.
