All I can offer is some almost-on-target empirical evidence. My daughter has
had an Acer Aspire One for 3 or 4 years. Her /home was an 8GB Sandisk SD
card. It never had any problems...until her husband noticed he had an SD
card slot on his brand new win7 laptop...and grabbed her card and Windows
I have beat my head against this for a couple of days now, and I can't
figure it out. I have an OpsView (nagios3) server. Two of the servers I am
monitoring are running Proxmox-VE, which is a Debian-based distro that
allows easy management of KVM and OpenVZ machines, though my CPU only allows

Ports 139, 445 and 901 are samba running. Port 631 is cups, your printer

able to turn them off...If you do need it, then you should be able to
firewall it, using iptables to limit access to the hosts or subnets you
need.

Thanks Andrew. I started using colored prompts to give visual cues as to

This was many years ago that this happened.

Thanks, Aaron...Using ssh is brilliant. I have a script I set up once called
bashprompt that I stick in /etc and source from .bashrc, but this could be a
more elegant solution (though somewhat higher maintenance).

All the back and forth. I say, if you want to be truly safe and if you have
the means, give your old hard the same treatment as the Terminator in T2...
Other than that, let your security meaures match your threat environment. If
you have to worry about National Technical Means, then by all means,
I believe to install the nvidia driver the Debian way, you need to enable
the non-free repositories then install
glx-alternative-nvidia
libgl1-nvidia-alternatives
libgl1-nvidia-glx
libglx-nvidia-alternatives
nvidia-alternative
nvidia-common
nvidia-glx
nvidia-installer-cleanup
nvidia-kernel-common

I concur with running Starcraft 2 on wine. I am not much of a gamer, but was
given a copy of SC2, and it runs quite well on wine. If I were to guess, I

Hi all,
Over the past few days, I've noticed on my sid workstation, that the number
of zombie knotify processes has been increasing. Sunday, I had about six.
Now I am up to 56. Has anyone else seen this behavior from knotify?
Thanks,
