How to install postgis2.0 on Debian6.0 and with Postgressql9.1 ? Didn't find any good repository ? Do you have to go all the way and compile ?

sudo su in a terminal window and then sudo apt-get install postgis postgresql-9.1 That should work.

	Nope because you get PostGIS1.5 not 2.0 – Mille Bii Feb 20 at 19:23
	1.5 is better for functionality currently, I believe. "•The DebianGIS project has built PostGIS in the past, but is currently not very up-to-date." – lewis Feb 20 at 19:24
	Didn't know, do you have some reference where I can make up my mind. So maybe I'll stay 1.5 – Mille Bii Feb 20 at 19:26
	You could go unstable repostiory like you do for gis builds on ubuntu/debian. – lewis Feb 20 at 19:28
	Yes but being newbie in this, I wonder how unstable/stable is ubuntuGIS – Mille Bii Feb 20 at 19:32
