We have Joomla 3.0.2 over a Debian 6.0.6.
We need to install another language packge.
Steps(Mandatory):

Installing VirtualBox OSE on Debian Squeeze 2.6.32-5-686

I report my installation over Debian 6.0.6 kernel 2.6.32-5-686 version.

Open a terminal and give
uname -r
to recognize your kernel version.

Suppose(as in my case you have this version...as terminal output)(but the procedure is the same, also for the others)
2.6.32-5-686

Give this command:
apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686 virtualbox-ose

Installation is done.
Give the command
virtualbox &
from terminal to launch the application(or into System Tools, into KDE menu).

Mounting windows remote folder(already shared in the network))

Suppose you have a directory on a windows machine, shared in the network.

We want to point, and mount, this folder, in read/write mode, on our Debain system.

We need the smbfs and samba-common packages.

apt-get install smbfs samba-common
 
echo 'smbfs' >> /etc/modules
 
mkdir /home/pippo/empty_directory
mount -t smbfs -o username=pippo //windows_machine_ip/remote_and_shared_folder /home/pippo/empty_directory 
or
mount -t smbfs -o username=pippo,password=pluto //windows_machine_ip/remote_and_shared_folder /home/pippo/empty_directory
 
If you want that the folder should be mounted automatically at the system startup edit the /etc/fstab file and
insert the below line:
 
//windows_machine_ip/remote_and_shared_folder /home/pippo/empty_directory smbfs defaults,user,noauto,username=pippo,password=pluto 0 0
