Hi, i lack some background working with Linux and understanding sources and commands, but i want to know, should i run apt-get update upgrade dist_upgrade asap after the installation or i should add/remove sources before? i want something secure and stable. What is the risk of not using the enterprise repos?

As per the Wiki located here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_repositories

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Proxmox VE No-Subscription Repository
The pve-no-subscription repo can be used for testing and non-production use. Its not recommended to run on production servers as these packages are not always heavily tested and validated. As the name suggests, there is no Proxmox VE Subscription Key needed to access this repository.

In order to use the pve-no-subscription repository, check and adapt your sources.list:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com, NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-no-subscription

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib

Note:

To prevent error messages accessing the Proxmox VE Enterprise Repository (if you have no Subscription key), you can disable this repo by commenting out the following line:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list

# deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-enterprise
