I am a complete newbie - to sys admin. Actually, I don't know if I should ask this to developers or sys admins.
I am trying to configure a 256mb slice on slicehost - intending to install Jetty 6/7. I looked up the documentation and found everything related to Jetty 5.x. The docs I see for Jetty 6 - going by manual installation - I am confused about the installation directory and I fear I will mess it up.
I did come across informative page on the jetty site at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Debian+Packages , but when I tried installing, I got "couldn't find package". I browsed thru the 6.1.8 folders (http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/) and found no debian packages for Jetty.
1) Does anyone have any idea about installing Jetty 6.x or 7?
2) If not, is there a "safe" way to install a deb package[safe = ensuring that install is as if i did a apt-get install
]
Thanks in advance.
