Hello World, I'll be holding a talk titled 'Debian Secrets' at DebianDay targetted to moderately advanced users, which aims to give an introduction in a number of useful things about Debian that not every Debian-user may know about; see <https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc8/event/321>. So far I've come up with the following subjects: - Using dpkg-statoverride to limit use of a particular command to a group of users and have that limitation survive upgrades - Using ~/.menu files to add extra stuff to the Debian menu - Using equivs for qmail fans, or similar - Searching for packages with debtags and grep-available - More efficient use of the Debian BTS with the "bts" command-line utility.
Of course, all of these will be short introductions with pointers to more information; but partly because of that, I don't think I'll be able to fill my hour yet. So, here's a request for help: if people have other suggestions that they think would suit this talk well (i.e., other Debian-specific features that people may want to know about), please let me know. -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
