http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge has release information, but none
of the links on that page lead to a page where you can actually
*download* sarge.
I will need to download the basic sarge plumbing *and* I will need
access to a network mirror that has all the sarge packages.
Can someone give me a direction?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Vwaju

I can't, I'm afraid, but I was wondering if you could expand on the
historical reasons that require sarge?

Thanks, Robert!
I downloaded Contents-i386.gz from http://ftp.debian.org/dists/sarge/.
As I understand it, this is not an archive, but a single compressed
file. I gunzipped it, which yields an 111MB file.
I am not sure what I have now. If this is sarge, how do I install it?

Linux System Administration (O'reilly) is a cookbook how-to for
teaching Linux networking by builiding an internet server. It was
written when sarge was the current version of Debian. Unfortunately,
because of many changes between sarge and etch, the book seems to be
just about useless unless your running sarge. ( Unless, of course, you
already know how to build a Linux network server, but then why would
you do the project at all?)

If you need to install it, I'd suggest downloading the installation CD's
(or the netinst, if you have a decent internet connection on the
computer you are going to install it on).
You can have a look at the list of mirrors here:
http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/
Not all contain older releases like sarge. One I found in Italy (not
sure if you're from there though ) is
http://debian.dynamica.it/images-i386/sarge/
Good luck!

Do I need to say it? Get a better book! Seriously, anything very
out-of-date will teach you some bad habits. Security stuff, in
particular. Amazon lists used books, try them. Or, if you boycott
Amazon for good and sufficient reasons, try http://www.nerdbooks.com/ .

I repeat the above. Don't use "old" software in this regard.

This file is used by apt. Normally there is no need to look at it
yourself.
You can get Debian Sarge from [1] (as I already said in [2]). Please
remember that there are no security updates provided since end of
March 2008 [3], and thus you should (at least) not offer services on a
public network.
