I prefer to do an upgrade first followed by a dist-upgrade. From man apt-get: upgrade upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left at their current version. An update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available. dist-upgrade dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a smart conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files.

Re: Comments on proposed partitioning scheme
Here's my opinion: * I wouldn't use raid for a desktop system but a backup program such as rsnapshot. You can mirror each disk this way, the main advantage is that when you throw something away by accident it is still there in your backup while with raid you would have lost it. Raid (and lvm) can make disaster recovery more difficult * I think encryption is not well suited for a desktop system, unless you have some special need for it (e.g. laptop). It creates extra overhead, meaning it is a lot slower then a normal file system + it makes disaster recovery more difficult. * Furthermore I prefer a simple partion scheme: mine is: /dev/sda1 swap 1 GB /dev/sda2 / 100 GB /dev/sda3 /home 889 GB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Evolution Backup ??
When the plugin isn't available, you can manually backup evolution: Step 1: Shutdown evolution and gconftool-2: $gconftool-2 --shutdown $evolution --force-shutdown Step 2: Create an archive with the data and configuration files: Note: To completely save the Evolution data and configuration, you need to save the following directories/files: ~/.evolution/ ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution The following command will take care of these $cd $tar -cvzf evolution-backup.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution Now the file evolution-backup.tar.gz is the backup you want. You can move the data over to another Ubuntu computer if you like, and just un-tar the archive while in your /home/username/ directory to restore it.

You could use backports.org. It doesn't look as though they have
swfdec-mozilla, but if you want to install any other packages from
testing/unstable you can either download the deb's from
http://www.backports.org/ or add
'deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free'
to your sources.list. You'll then need to update ('aptitude update') as
usual, and specify to install from backports for the package you want.
e.g, 'aptitude -t lenny-backports install package-you-want' Hope that
was of some help.

Thanks for the help! Backports is indeed a good option for some
packages. Off course not all packages can be available in backports and
therefor I wonder what is the best way to proceed. Or more specifically
which of aforementioned 4 options is preferred when you want a package
in testing/unstable that is not in backports?

I use apt-pinning and it works really well. I followed the Debian apt-pinning howto and now run a mix of Testing and Unstable. http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning -- Thanks for the tip. Are there any downsides to be expected from this method? e.g. accidentally pulling in dependencies for lots of packages turning my 'stable' into 'testing'. Is this a better option then temporary enabling testing/unstable repositories or downloading the debs from the debian.packages.org? And if so why? I'm really curious to find the best way to run stable while installing an occasional testing/unstable package. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Is there anything I can do to solve this? are you running lenny? what version of ati driver are you using? I'm using fglrx 8-7 if you're using the fglrx driver (which looks like it from your xorg) have you had any luck by using aticonfig? after you install the driver you run $ aticonfig --initial -f that will give you a clean xorg. I don't see how this helps. aticonfig only adds a fglrx line to xorg. for me the newer xorg versions have picked up everything automatically. so ditch the big xorg.conf if you can. i run on a hd3870 and it's perfect using the ati 8.9 driver. all i had to do to get 3d acceleration was install the driver and run aticonfig. to get compiz i just added the compiz enable I'll try installing ati's 8.9 driver. line at the end of my xorg. i've attached my current file for you to look at if you need it.
