Nice way to take my analogy as a means to veer wildly OT ;-)
I'm no fan of sandpaper unless it's attached to a machine to do the
sanding for me. I love a planed or scraped surface but have little
opportunity to produce one.=20

If you can only have one tool, a decent router is a good choice. I
don't disagree about the shaper vs router and table, but it's really
hard to: trim laminate, edge or groove large panels, make key-holes,
mortise hinge plates, etc. At a minimum (for the work I do, anyway)
I'd need a nice laminate trimmer. and probably a router as well. MIght
as well just use the router which does all those things reasonably
well for a lot less money (up front).

huh. I use my table saw for everything. I"ve even made cove moldings
on it. But, to paraphrase someone else, when its the only tool you
have, everything begins to look like sheet stock. To each their own
though.=20

Would you personally use the kernel from "testing" on a production
box? Is it really as simple as "apt-get upgrade linux-image" ->
restart -> done? I've been cautious about using packages from
testing, because they seem to depend on a lot of other packages from
testing and I'm nervous about the snowball effect on a box that is
supposed to be "stable".

Hi, I have the following issue. When I start my recent debian
installation (4.0 r0) everything work fine except when it comes to
start the x-window. It starts up but gets stuck in a black and white
screen with the mouse pointer as a X. right away. Nothing else
happens. Gnome will not come up even if you wait a while (say 20
min). I don't really
know where to start looking for error messages.
It would be a great help if you could point me to where I should
continue the search my x-window issues. So I can fix my own box.
Thanks.

Hi Bogdan,
in principle, you are right - for proper advice one would need the type
of the video card. But the fact that I am already running compiz is
enough, no matter what my video card is, right? Anyway, in my case
"lspci | grep VGA" gives:
~ % lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility
Radeon 9600 M10]
~ %
Thanks for the replay, but as I wrote in my previous post, I managed to
solve the problem myself.
Cheers,
Ivan

just what it says here. I suspect that this is causing most of the

One of the gnucash devs was working on something like this. I think
it's called cashutils or something like that. The dev was Neil

gnucash that could be used with a Palm or similar device. Check

well not exactly vi.
It uses $EDITOR if that can't be found /usr/bin/editor (iirc) which on
debian uses the update alternatives system. So there's no need to be
afraid of vi/vim when you don't want to use it.
Note: I use vi/vim but there may be people that live on the dark side :)

That sounds like something that a BIOS upgrade would fix, since the
box doesn't "know" Linux during POST.

I've got a similar problem with a DOS-based upgrade app. I'm going

have you installed Gnome? How do you start your X session: from a
console prompt with 'startx' or from gdm|xdm|kdm?

/var/log/Xorg.0.log, but X is working so that won't say much.
maybe ~/.xsession-errors but I bet that's empty.

I'm guessing you don't actually have a window manager or desktop
environment installed.=20

but if you do a google search and go to deb.opera.org you will see this:
The archive gpg fingerprint
pub 1024D/6A423791 2006-09-26 [expires: 2009-09-25]
Key fingerprint = CD5A 9776 9F6E F4D9 EBCD 8F92 0334 3153 6A42 3791
uid Opera Software Archive Automatic Signing Key
sub 2048g/BEAEDCB7 2006-09-26 [expires: 2009-09-25]
To install the key on your host, do something like this:
Debian user
wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | apt-key add -
or
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 6A423791
gpg --fingerprint 6A423791
gpg --armor --export 6A423791| apt-key add -
and that does work:)
