Hi all. A quick report on Linuxworld expo before I try to get Debian

Only one package can listen on port 25 of one IP. It is possible to

Shocking. :) Congrats to everyone! (How come it wasn't announced

Hi,
A while back there was mention of developing a display manageer that
could select a host to login to. What ever became of this?

the VGA-BIOS included is licensed only for use and distribution with
bochs. It therefor cannot be seperated into a seperate package from
bochs (and if bochs is packaged, it should ge removed from the source
archive.

Bad idea.
Then you also want every X11-app to ask if it should install itself in

Hi,
I intend to package snap 0.02a, a Perl-based Napster client for console.
The package is actually already made, but I have just applied to become
a Debian maintainer, thus it will probably still be quite some time till
I can upload the package (unless I will find a sponsor).
Cheers, Guenter
