Hello,
I have a system running Debian Testing. It was freshly installed from
the stable net-installer image then immediately upgraded to testing. I
then installed xfce4 and configured it to start from console as per
these[1] instructions. However, when I run `startx`, I get some output
from it

Hi list,
I have a USB external HDD that I would like to encrypt with a
passphrase. After looking into filesystems, I decided to go with Ext4.
What's the recommended way of encrypting a drive? Do I partition it
first, then encrypt that partition?
Internet searches lead me to LUKS cryptsetup.
Hi all,
Is there a way to --purge by default when using apt-get or aptitude?
I often browse the apt repo and install various things I find (mostly
games) to discover it, then remove them in a few hours/days/weeks. I'm
afraid of leaving tons of config files laying on my system.
Thanks,
Steve

I'm running Debian Jessie AMD64. I'm using RRDTool to create graphs of
