Being interested about debian, I tried using QEMU to run debian under windows, but I realize that some of my commonly used command cannot be used. I can use ls; mkdir, but not password root; pstree, why?

  1. password is not a standard linux command. Try passwd instead.

  2. pstree is likely not installed by default. Install the psmisc package.

so, should I run an apt-get update first? – lokheart Sep 8 '11 at 1:42
Yes, that's usually a good idea to do before installing packages. – ErikA Sep 8 '11 at 1:48
