Yes, I am. And I should have access to the framebuffer, but for some
reason it doesn't work with SDL; Would CHMODing the file in /dev/ be
enough to grant me rw permissions to the fb?

I am new to Debian, and I'm wondering what is the

install them from a folder using "dpkg -i *.deb"?

I have the testing version of "java-package" (0.37)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Michael,
The debian lists have mail filter administrators more adept than many of
the users of debian lists will ever be.
I notice that your posts tend to come in batches where you reply to what
to daily readers of debian-user would appear to be threads that have
been dead for a few days. Perhaps by the time the DU mail gets to you,
the spam storm has been fixed and you never receive it.
Or, perhaps your mail filters are better than debian-user's. If so,
perhaps you could provide some guidance to the debian lists mail filter
administrators.
I don't have a mail filter. I only get about 2 spams per week other
than what comes from debian-user; I get many a day from DU.

However, then the whole game is being run with root privleges. Is it
audited for use by root; what else is that binary doing while you're
gaming? Sudo only limits what commands you can issue
from the shell; it does't limit what those commands can do. It would be
better to do one of the following:
- Have a separate game machine that you can reload
periodically. It should have not public keys on it or
any other sensitive info. Use a non-gaming box for real
work.
- Find an alternative to the SDL framebuffer. Perhaps
there's a permissions thing that could give members of
a 'gaming' group or something access to the SDL. Then
the game could run under that normal user.
- Choose a different game.
Note that I have sdl installed as dependencies of vlc. However, I can
play vlc as a normal user. Perhaps its a group thing.

I've rarely solved such problems with a kitchen sink approach (replacing
the palm program and the finance program with one big program that does
everything). You have a program for you Palm that gets data onto your
box. You have a cheque register. You just need an app that links it
all.
First order of business is to sort out the file and record format of the
datafile from Checkbook that sync gets from the Palm and puts on the pc.
Then you need to find command-line tools that will do what you need.
What command can you issue from the command line that will enter data to
Checkbook? What command can you issue from the command line that will
put data on your desktop?
Write a script that uses the commands appropriatly. Use a scripting
language to do the logic processing. Use whatever language you like
that will do it. Personally, I'd use Python.

There's /etc/init.d/dbus which is run in runlevel 2.

For pure woodworking (as opposed to, say, surface prep prior to
repainting something on the house), I don't use sandpaper at all. My
shop doesn't have it. I use scrapers if I need or, or leave a true
planed surface.
My favorite chisel is one give me by my step-grandfather (pattern
maker). Is a 1/4" wide, about 16" long overall, hand made by some Swiss
master in the late 1800's. It holds an edge seemingly forever. I lap
it on the granite surface plate occasionally (more frequently if I'm
carving something hard on tools). Goes through most woods as if they
were butter.
By the time you buy a router and either buy or build a good solid router
table, you could have bought a 2 HP shaper. The only advantage to the
router route :) is to have a portable router or if you are in an
apartment where plunking a 500# machine down in the spare bedroom would
go over like, well, a 500# shop tool.
While we're at it, I'm not a fan of the table saw either. They only
come into their own with sheet stock; I never use sheet stock. For
solid stock, I used the bandsaw then cleaned it up on the jointer or
shaper, back when I had a full shop. Now I just do it by hand.

Or OpenBSD. Has a much smaller memory footprint (means less swapping)
than linux and perhaps faster as well. Also, since its a firewall,
OpenBSD is supposed to be the most secure firewall to which regular
people have access.

I think most in your situation would get a credit card (a separate one
for business expenses if needed), then download the transactions from
the card into your financial software.
Why make entries in a palm device? Why not let the bank do it for
you? Most software remembers the last category you used for Joe's
Restaurant or Pete's Hardware and automatically categorizes it for
you. It's a two-second download into your register. Or at worst a
download plus import on Moneydance or GnuCash.

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/shames/debian-sid/desktopfx/unstable/ ./
update and apt-get install compiz-fusion-kde or compiz-fusion-gnome
depending on your windows manager. Then compiz --replace in a terminal

Running "lshw" on the box shows the motherboard as a Dell 0UW457, v.
A03 with socket M2 and Nvidia GeForce 6150LE chipset. The BIOS
version is about a year old (12/09/2006, v. 1.1.4), so it could
probably use an upgrade.
Actually, if you have any tips on upgrading the BIOS from within
Linux, give me a shout. Most of Dell's "solutions" for BIOS upgrade
are convoluted or Windows-centric. I was playing around with the
libsmbios utilities the other day. Perhaps there is something in
there to help...
Thanks,
Bogart
