At the Debian sites you can find all sorts of software,
with precise information on which versions of other packages
that the software depends on. If you are running a Debian Linux system,
you can download precompiled packages and install them with a single
command. However, the description in this appendix is based on compiling
the source code, which is a more general approach. The Debian packages
are also distributed as tar files with the complete source code; just focus at
the ``Source Code'' in small fonts under the ``Go To Download'' button.
