1. When I installed ubuntu breezy (server option), I tried apt-get update, it refused command- on some file 'locked'. I poked around, googled, no luck, I tried various options to log in as root, even though Ubuntu never asked me to setup root - again no luck. What all did I miss or screw up?
2. I am told Gnome has an edge on KDE where Gnome has ability to work with /proc file system and get access to hardware, and is able to 'auto-detect' hardware. How is this? Isn't this role of kernel? And what is this 'fork' related to gnome-hardware detect? Am I making sense? 3. I'd like to know how the Debian-ites install same on 'new' hardware. Sarge didn't even get off the ground. My attempt at using 'testing' version (2.6 kernel) failed on basic install, and syslog messages looked like a new language. 4. Any comments on Webmin? Something to experiment with? stay away from? Antique? 5. How can I get Debian sarge on my home machine to change graphics. I think I tried some hardware 'probe' but it didn't pick up this old ati radeon 7500.
