Untangle 7.2 on Debian

[talbers]

Ok, I have the need to beat myself.
I would like to install Untangle 7.2 on a box that will have Debian 5.0.4 on it. How much H3ll am I in for? I am not experienced in Linux at all. This is a test box so if I screw something up who cares. The reason I want to do this is for monitoring and also to see what I can learn. I know there is a deleted or outdated install guide but that is for Debian 4.0, is that the best option?

I am looking for advice an guidance from anyone willing to help.

Thanks,

just install untangle using the ISO - its based on debian lenny (v5)

For the monitoring software I need these to be installable. I am not sure where to get these packages and I am afraid that even if I do get them installed I might break Untangle. If I could get some direction as to where to get these packages I could give it a try. Assuming of course there is minimal risk to breaking untangle.

Depends: openipmi (>= 2.0.2) but it is not installable
Depends: libstdc++5 but it is not installable
Depends: rpm but it is not installable
Depends: procmail but it is not installable
Depends: libsmbios2 but it is not installable
Depends: libsmbios-bin but it is not installable

OK i got the list down to this.

Depends: openipmi (>= 2.0.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: rpm but it is not going to be installed

not sure where to go from here.

you can edit sources.list and install whatever you want.

WARNING: you will break your box - please don't complain when it doesn't work.

That is what I was afraid of. Could I do it if I installed Untangle on top of Debian or is this just a bad idea that I should quit on.
