Debian Installation attempt

[hayward6]

Hey all,
This weekend I made an attempt at swapping from Windows, to Debian and it didn't go so well.

The pieces that didn't go real well were the compiling and sourcing in my windows database... I ran through it from start to finish many times, and each time I had different issues. Sometimes the compiler would give me comparison errors, and other times it seemed to go fine except the links were broken. When I finally had it running I saw the server on the login screen but couldnt connect because the banned ip field was not there (database didn't seem to source right from my backup of the windows pc.

Has anyone else gone through this and worked it out, I know im being vague, but i had so many issues I thought I would just discuss them all.

Thank you,
