    Question .deb files

    Hi,
    I installed apache2 on my virtual server and when I located it I saw apache with .deb files, do I need to extract it? or it was automatically installed when I "apt-get install apache2"??

    Some apache with .deb files are located on /var/cache/apt/archives.

    Thanks,

    Those are cache files of apt-get and if you have installed apache correctly then remove those files to free up space.
    Execute this
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean all
    It will clear cache. You execute above command after installing bunch of packages to free up space.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
