Using Debian Volatile to keep your packages updated
Some packages aim at fast moving targets, such as spam filtering and virus scanning, and even when using updated data patterns, they do not really work for the full time of a stable release. The main goal of volatile is allowing system administrators to update their systems in a nice, consistent way, without getting the drawbacks of using unstable, even without getting the drawbacks for the selected packages. So debian-volatile will only contain changes to stable programs that are necessary to keep them functional.
Add an additional IP address to your server
1. Open the network configuration file (pico /etc/network/interfaces)
Check the name of your network interface. You should see a line similar to this one: "iface eth0 inet static". In my case the name is eth0.
Add these lines to the end of the file:
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
network 192.168.1.0
