Beginner friendly guide to installing EOS on Debian (w/Ubuntu Support)

Hats off to these guys(?) for 1st posts!

Please review, curate & contribute to these guides as well!

Let's get started ...

Base Install (Debian)

AFAIK, ought also work w/Ubuntu. Skip to "Install Prerequisites" ...
YMMV

In the event your VPS provider is not offering the stable branch of Debian ...
(For instance if Jessie is available but, not Stretch)
You can just upgrade to Stretch (Stable) first.

• Jessie (Debian 8) to Stretch (Debian 9/Stable)

TL;DR (Copy/Paste This ONLY if Stretch is NOT Available From Your VPS Provider)

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

• Stretch (Debian 9/Stable) to Buster (Debian 10/Testing)

TL;DR (Copy/Paste This)

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo sed -i 's/stretch/buster/g' /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

OK, let's really get started ...
