Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Once you have the information, simply run the apt-get command to install it through CLI."

A block of code is set as follows:

[OPTIONS]
enable: 1
policy_in: DROP

[RULES]
IN ACCEPT –p tcp –dport 22
IN ACCEPT –p tcp –dport 8006

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-no-subscription
deb http://security.debian.org / wheezy/updates main contrib

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "After the installation is completed, eject the installation disk or the USB media, then click on Reboot."
