Can anybody give me a quick rundown on the process, or point me to docs that
offer a more complete description, of how to go about
creating a new font?
I'm interesting in developing a couple of custom fonts for a theme I'm
creating, but have absolutely no idea how!
Thanks!

I have .bashrc set up to support color ls, but .bashrc isn't called when I log
in.
If I subsequently start a new shell, however, or 'source .bashrc' then the file
is read and processed.
What's the best way to handle this so it's done automagically upon logging in?
Just throw "source .bashrc" o
Tonight I tried to install the latest version of ssh onto my system, but I
wasn't paying close enough attention to the dependencies. Ssh 2.5.1p1
requires libc-2.2.1-2 or higher, and potato uses libc6-2.1.3-15.
I have a vague recollection of problems running apps using libc-2.1 with
libc-2.2, so I

I know it's bad form to reply to oneself, but I thought I should also state
that this mouse comes with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter. If you
don't have USB support, you can still use the mouse.
I've been running it for several we

If it helps at all, Logitech builds most of Microsoft's mice for them.
I don't know if it works with Debian (still getting my box configured), but I'm
quite partial to the Logitech USB optical mouse
Every time I start Vim with a new file, I get an intro screen. How do I

Oops. :)
I actually knew about the range of addresses, but I couldn't remember which
ones went with which. Besides, I also omitted the fact
that *.0 and *.255 are reserved addresses.

I was just reading this in one of the TCP/IP books I have, so I'll take a stab
at explaining it (and let somebody else explain the
errors).
IP addresses are divided into "host" portions and "network" portions. The host
portion is assi
When I installed Debian 2.2r0 a couple of weeks ago, I did the smallest install
possible - I let dselect install the default initial
set of packages. Over the past couple of weeks, I've done very small tailoring
to the system: turned off all network services,
switched a few programs (for instance

It's the one I'm most familiar with, and my laptop has 128MB of memory + 256MB
swap, so I'm not /overly/ concerned about the memory
usage.
However, after having read about some of the other window manglers, I'm

I recently installed Debian on my laptop, but some of the programs I was
planning on using exist only in unstable (for instance,
Enlightenment 0.16.5).
What are the dangers in upgrading my system to run unstable? What issues am I
likely to face if I do upgrade the whole thing to
unstable? Would
