I've just run up my first linux box and I'm goin ok. Only thing is I
can't get SSH running on it (to enable me to access it from a windows

a client. Can anyone tell me where to start looking. I'm guessing
that it's a daemon that I need to run.

apt-get install openssh-server

Other problem that I'm getting is if I run aptitude or dselect, I get
a time out when trying to connect to mirror.pacific.net.au. It shows
an IP address of 1.0.0.0 which would suggest to me a problem with
named, however if I ping it, all is fine.

Sorry, but all I can suggest as of now is to try another mirror, and
check why the host is resolved like that (something in /etc/hosts or
/etc/resolv.conf?). Someone else could probably suggest something
better...

HTH.
