Yes they are.

Debian testing with the package "apt-listbugs" and someone that does not install buggy packages or upgrade to buggy versions of packages has a system that is up to date with any...

Thank you, I am planning on doing just that.

When we bought this box I don't remember any account set up with a password at that time so I will need to call and straighten that out.

On my lunch...

Thank you very much.

I know my way around the inside of a desktop very well. Have never messed with the guts of a laptop.

Have been working on just cleaning up a viao so that Vista may work...

We have a Pangolin that my wife just loves. Got it just before 10.04 was released so it came with 9.10 installed.

Upgraded it to 10.04 in late summer of 2010 and have had no trouble with it since...

Not a chance in the world KeyBoard Man. Not a chance.

Nope, should probably gone with the others. Just too many old "friends" here.

Some may not but I know I miss you being around stirring things up.

Calving heifers, even in a fairly draft free calving room in February when stripped to the waste is not very warm. Well your arm is.

That several minutes after getting a calf pulled (good thing...

Don't think answering that a good idea.

This is the end of a dev cycle. Should be a happy time for all testers so there is a FUN start at the tool chain.

Besides I don't think the thought...

You are on the list of folks, much too long to post, that I will miss a lot.

"debdelta" is a package available in the Debian repos. I have used it.

Was not particularly impressed. Do not use it or have it installed on any of my installs currently.

Used it under...

Well folks, it has been real and it has been fun. It hasn't been real fun.

I will be missing many of the folks here that I have come to know and admire. Unfortunately there are few of you left. ...

I think you have a kind of wrong idea of the way LTS releases are built.

12.10 will be the start of development that leads to the next LTS.

The releases in between the LTS's are nice. Fun if...

This is straight up Xfce. It is the way Debian gives it to you.

Xubuntu, like all Ubuntu family members, sets up the eye candy for you ahead of time. I am sure that when it hits the repo you...

See post 20.

You also need to check all the items in the settings manager. There are a number that have to do with the look of the thing.

One will enable compositing if your box will run it. ...

Just information for the interested, the above command is kind of Ubuntu specific.

Running it in Debian Squeeze will give you;


tom@main:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
cat: /etc/lsb-release: No such...

Go to Synaptic>Settings>Repositories and you will find the same thing.

There is little to say after someone uses dodgy tools like computer janitor. That is like swatting flies on a glass table top with a sledge hammer.

Gluing it all back together will take some...

What it boils down to is that you have the choice of editing the config files or living with it.

Real computer users do not want to change the default. Only elitist gurus do that sort of thing.

So far, Debian seems pretty well on the way to Gnome3 and GS on Wheezy.

Mate is in the repo for Wheezy, though, and Sid.

Should think it will end up in a repo for Ubuntu eventually.

Debian is not 3 years. Debian does not have a set date for release of any of their stable versions and never has.

They have set rules for stability. This means that all packages have to have no...

Actually Squeeze is Debian stable and thus NOT a rolling release.

Debian testing and Sid are both rolling releases.

Debian Squeeze was testing when 10.04 was 10.04-testing and is therefore...

If you are installed on 2 partitions (/ and /home) you only need enough room for another / partition.

Just use the same /home for both. You do need to use a unique user name for each install so...

Thank you very much.

Hadn't caught the connection with Conky. Probably my fault.

While I like some limited transparency in my panel(s) it just bugs me else where. Like to see it on other...

The step releases just update the ISO image to current for that date.

That first step release is important in that the new release has not been tested on enough diverse hardware.

The many bugs...

This is a very good response. I do want to add one thing though.

As a user of the LTS I am sure you know that there are "step" releases. You are currently using 10.04.4 (last step release).
