Xterm question.....
Hi, may be, this question is quite newbie. My xterm uses xterm-debian setting, and I can't use backspace. How can I solve this? BTW I would prefer a personal CC as well, my mail provider hangs sometime Gabaux Linux is like a wigwam: no gates, no windows, and an apache inside! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Version control mailing list announced
Hi, I have spent some time helping newbies to get around RCS for home or school development projects, and I started using CVS a few month ago for learning it. I was using ClearCase at my company for two years and helped a lot of new colleges to start with it. I realized that version control has some features which are not depending on the tool you use. My mailing list tries to help people in these general problems. My other goal would be to help people to chose the most suitable versioning tool for their projects.

dselect vs apt
Though it might be a lamer question, I would like to know the major differences between dselect and apt. I do not upgrade my boxes via ftp, I allways (more or less :-)) ) wait till the new release is assembled in CD images. Why would I switch to apt?

Re: New release over due
IMHO using linux gives you the opportunity to update only if you do want it. I am running hamm at home, slink in the office, and I am content with them. You can have the lates packages one-by one, but I guess it is very rare when you are forced really to upgrade. BTW people with slow TCP/IP connection may find it very complicated to download all packages directly from the NET. But they may find some magazines with suplemental CD sets. An other point. I do nothing for Debian (only answering some questions, and helping some friends here), so I am happy to have such a good distro.

SQL engines
Hi, I am to write a home application for Linux that uses an SQL database. I can not decide which library to use, my two ideas are: Postgres and Mysql. Which is the best solution and why?

Re: the dselect debate
On Mon, 19 Jul 1999, Chris Dion wrote: I'm new to both Linux in general and the debian distribution specifically. I found that dselect, though awkward at first, was rather easy to use and quite powerful. That's not to say that the interface couldn't be improved somewhat. Is work on dselect ongoing, and is the source available? If so, I'd like to take some of the suggestions and concerns voiced on this list and have a go at improving the tool. That's assuming my programming skills are up to the task ; ) Thanks in advance, Chris Dion I agree to that oppinion. My first encounter with dselect was very tedious, but I could set up a systems in a few hours. I should admit, that kept a dselect description by my hand for all the time. I think, most new user find dselect interface outmoded, but that's only psichology..
Re: Suggestion for Newbie Guide Lines
This idea should be very wellcome, since the larger portion of Linux newbies has never seen a working Unix. (I myself was lucky enough to work on AIX for 4 years as a user before I atempted my first Linux install..) A 10 pages-or so description of the most important commands and tools could ease the life of the newcommers. The learning curce can be very steep in that case too, when no install problems are to be overcome.

Re: Just my opinion
IMHO Texinfo and info is not so bad. I use emacs but read the info files through the program info. The main advantage is that anyone can produce very cool printouts, and no need for an overfancy web browser. Installing Linux can be a very big challenge, but I do not want to overstate it. My very first Debian install was bo, all in 3 hours. (No net, no X, all dev stuff.) It went nice. My second install was hamm for a friend, it was about 4-5 hours because he had some tricky hw gadgets. (No net, X, important development stuff.) Most recently (last december) I installed hamm for myself. It lasted for 5 hours, because I made some wrong decision concerning hw settings. Though I must admit, I had 5 years of user experience with IBM AIX.

Re: BE MORE SIMPLE!!!!
I do not want to continue the line, but I could not withold some comments: The moral from the original rather rash message can serve very good the whole Linux/Debian community. It is indeed very hard to convince people to use Linux when the starting informaiton is filled with jargon. The users coming from the M$ world are definitly used to be lazy in brains. I meen no disrespect, but M$ makes you forget thinking. (Cf the subscription! :-) ) I would suggest an other install description with step-by-step texts of what to do. And redesinging Debian web site can help a lot. Gabor Urban --- Lufthansa Systems Hungaria KfT mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel : (36)-1-431-2949 Fax :(36)-1-431-2977 I am not a cat to play with the mouse.
Re: Separate list for newbies
I would advocate against it. My reasons are: 1. It would be a bad policy to isolate newcommers. How could we persuade others to join the Linux (Debian..) community if we immadieatly throw them into a secondary position. 2. One CAN learn much just scanning the mails. Newcommers too. 3. This 'joined' list makes us feel one gang, and is is definitly very good.
