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).

Do you need more help?X

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

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".

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.

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.

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

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 Williams and he was working hard on getting some backend access to gnucash that could be used with a Palm or similar device.

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.

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 to look to writing FreeDOS to a USB key.
