I'm looking at buying a used computer and want to install Debian
on it. I've taken a serious liking to the following and would
appreciate any comments on whether or not there will be any hardware
problems with it. Many thanks!

Does lpr work? e.g. `lpr file.ps' should print a file.
Are you getting anything from lpq?

Hello,
I run debian GNU/Linux (slink, kernel 2.0.36) under console mode (it's an
older system) and am having problems with virtual consoles. I have logins
on the first two consoles and then spawn additional consoles (with the
`open' command) when I need them.
A few days ago I opened up console 3

almost like the connection is
terminated after running scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d . I searched Deja
and the web but could not find any documentation on how this is supposed
to work.

I'm about ready to go out and buy a new computer. I'd really like to
buy a system with Debian preinstalled. I called VA Linux, and even
though they sell Debian, they won't sell me a computer with Debian
on it. Penguin uses Red Hat as well.
Any ideas?

I'm looking for a statistics package for programming. Couldn't find
any Debian packages, but did find Goose (v 0.0.11). Just wondering
if there are any more mature libraries out there.

Will `loadkeys' let me assign an arbitrary command to a key sequence?
I've looked at the Console HOWTO and the loadke
Is it possible to set up additional special keyboard requests in
inittab? I've already assigned ctrl-alt-delete and alt-uparrow and
want another...

Just curious, why did you decide to `upgrade'? I'm trying to decide
whether I should do the same.

My slink box is using a dial up connection with exim. When I enter
localhost as the outgoing server, Netscape complains. I've configured
exim as a `satellite' system -- is this the problem? Is there any
way to force Netscape to use exim configured this way?
Thanks,

I should also note that I can run it from the command line no problem,
it is just as a daily cron job that it has problems...
