[Red5] Installing Red5 on Debian linux (vendor)

[Nick Barmeda]

There is no instructions because debian based packages (.deb) are
pre-compliled and have dependency checking.

Please update your sources.list in /etc/apt to include non-free software.
This will satisfy your dependencies.

It is wise to agree, if you are having difficulties installing any
application on unix, you should be using windows then.

example in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
