Wouldn't it be great if there was a Debian package to list, decribe and
index all other packages?
Yeah, I think so too. Even cooler (IMHO) would be something that would tell
me what I have on the system. :) I'm always looking at /var/lib/dpkg/available
and status to see what's up on my system

Hmmm. Kind of an open ended question. You mean besides what the web pages

I know that a cluster of Linux machines using a resonably quick

That's good for selecting packages but if you are
just updating the things, my suggestion would be a

apt-get clean.
What is apt-get? I can't find any references to it anywhere on my system...

to move towards xterms instead, since they have lower cost of ownership.

Hi Sasha.
My colleagues who usually work on X-terminals noticed certain advantages of

X-terminals to buy 5 PC. I think I understand how to maintain single-computer

Is there a way to do a clean shutdown without becoming root?
(Preferably still restricting access to those who can push the power button.)
The method I tell folks around here to use is to go to a virtual console,
press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and watch for the bios screen. Then shut it off.

Hi!
The last times I visited the Debian web site I had to realize that it is
not very impressing concerning design and structure. Especially in
design the sites of FreeBSD, The GNOME Project, KDE, Red Hat, etc. have
a lot more to offer.
Of course web page design is not the most important
I should have stressed `recent kernels'. 2.0.29 is kinda old;
this option was only put into the kernel-package recently. The

I hope this helps.
Yes indeed it does. Although some of the

I have what seems like an obvious question, but after a lot of research I
haven't been able to come up with an answer. If I want to build an *exact*
duplicate of the distribution kernel, how do I do that? Specifically, what
options were used to build the distribution kernel
Hi,
I think you need the config file from a distribution
kernel. On recent kernel, this is in /boot/config-version. You can
use dpkg -x kernel-image*.deb /tmp to extract the default kernel to
/tmp; look then in /tmp/boot for the config file; use kernel-package
to rebuild the
Isn't the .config file in the kernel-source package the same as the
distribution kernel?
I don't think so. At least is seems like when I go to configure the kernel
it has some options set by default that do not seem reasonable for the
distribution kernel. As a (possibly fictional) example:
