I followed the debian quickstart guide and I got two errors for the first two steps.

The first error occurred when I tried to run

aptitude update

This is the error I got:

W: GPG error: http://ftp.freenet.de stable Release: The following signatures were
invalid: BADSIG A70DAF536070D3A1 Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (4.0/etch) < ftpmaster@debian.org>
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

I ran "apt-get update" and this solved the first issue.
But then I got a second error when I tried to

install: memcached apache2 php5 php5-cli php-pear php5-dev tetex-bin tetex-extra gs-gpl imagemagick build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev libmagic1 libmagic-dev subversion postgresql-8.2 postgresql-contrib-8.2 php5-tidy php5-pgsql php5-gd zip

This is the command I inserted and the consequent error message:

apt-get install memcached apache2 php5 php5-cli php-pear php5-dev tet
ex-bin tetex-extra gs-gpl imagemagick build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev libmagic1
libmagic-dev subversion postgresql-8.2 postgresql-contrib-8.2 php5-tidy php5-pgsql
php5-gd zip
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
E: Couldn't find package postgresql-8.2

This one I don't know how to solve so please help…

Ok, changed OS. Now is Ubuntu 7.10.
And I also changed the guide, which is now the easier one.

This time no errors until I have to run the first script:

. /var/wdsetup/wd1_setup1.bash

After this point the system will freeze irreparably sooner or later before the script finishes its tasks. Ten times I reinstalled the OS, no way: frozen. Always at some point while unpacking or installing packages.

I suspect it's simply because of the java interface to manage the VPS, but I'm not that sure about it.

PS: Confirmed, therefore if you want to use some VPS don't rely on the java interface they will give you but use you own SSH client. Mac OS X for example has an integrate SSH client accessible this way:

1- Start the Terminal application
2- Type ssh -l yourusername yourserverIP
3- When the notice regarding "The key for this host has never been seen before." appears, accept and save the key.
4- Enter your password

Unfortunately this doesn't solve the next problems, but at least the interface stops freezing while you're working on it

I also wrote to the server provider support (VPSlink) and this is the reply:

Hello,

Installing X on a VPSLink 1 would be a pretty bad idea, and some image
manipulation libraries can use portions of it, but with package
managers, they are usually built with the X11 libraries. You should
compile imagemagick from source, not using the X libraries.

Well-timed but totally incomprehensible for me and nothing encouraging.
Any suggestions?

PS let me quote just an excerpt of the terminal where there are possibly meaningful errors:
