I don't think debian works well on my ppc mac (iBook).
I would buy thinkpad or something.

Humbug.  If you learned hot to type *properly* on a real IBM Selectric  
(hint: you never pushed the key down past the "click", certainly never  
to the stops), using a clicky keyboard today won't cause you carpal  
tunnel any faster than a squish-box typed on improperly will.  The  
click was meant to simulate the action of the typewriter ball smacking  
the paper for those of us who learned how to type on typewriters.



Most carpal tunnel is brought on by typing done with angle of the arm  
and wrist all wrong, etc.  Basic ergonomics.



To start with, real speed typists raise their hands off the board (the  
long "wrist rests" on most modern keyboards, especially laptops,  
simply didn't exist on typewriters -- people also didn't use them on  
their laps!).  Incorrect technique is far more "risky" than using a  
"clicky" keyboard.



Learning how to type properly isn't an activity undertaken by many  
people anymore.  Heck, taking a basic computer operation course with  
the basics of input/output, files, and how computers work isn't done  
either -- and look how confused the average untrained user is by  
simple tasks on a computer.  We point them at a complex device with no  
training and expect results.  Ridiculous.



Look up some old typist-training books sometime and research how  
typists on typewriters got above 80 WPM.  You'll find the techniques  
to avoid carpal tunnel in most of them.


Do you need more help?X

Some people are also simply more prone to it, but seriously -- the  
keyboard's always far less "at fault" (since our society always wants  
to blame something on externalities than on one's own behavior) than  
the typist's technique.



Blaming carpal tunnel on a particular type of keyboard smells funny to  
me.  I'm not buying.  I'm surprised many people have.  Of course,  
there's a fiscal reason -- carpal tunnel claims and legal cases are  
quite lucrative.

Have you eliminated common problems, like a spamfilter at your end?
Sometimes, people don't realise that all their mails are silently
eaten up by the spam filters.

Okay. I have a regular ethernet card built into my laptop's motherboard.
I use Openbox for my desktop, whilst my wife uses Gnome. I use
powersaved for power management, which in turn uses acpid.

What i have done so far is make changes to the powersaved config
scripts. I have instructed it to restart networking, acpid, and the
firewall to no avail (before discovering that eth0 itself no longer
existed in /dev). I then tried unloading and re-loading the module that
my ethernet driver uses (natsemi), but that doesn't help. Then i tried
manually restarting several of the init.d scripts that seemed promising
in an effort to bring up the eth0 device (no luck). I've done alot of
searching on the internet besides that and really didn't find anything
useful.

It seems to me that something in the boot process checks for the
existence of that device (/dev/eth0) and creates it, but i can't figure
out what that is. There must be some way to tell the kernel (or
something) to create it! I just don't even know where to look though.

Does MAKEDEV still work? My only thought is to manually create the
device from the init.d/networking script if it doesn't exist, but that
seems like a kludge and fragile besides. Basically i'm wondering if
anybody knows of the proper way to do this.

  I could tell you about how well my laptop works for me, but that's
mainly a function of the hardware and my work habits; everything I need
to use regularly works.  How Debian works on a laptop depends mainly on
the hardware, so I'd suggest trying to find reports from people who have
installed Debian on an Apple notebook.  You might also want to get a
Debian live CD (e.g., from http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org) and try
booting it to get a feeling for your compatibility without having to
move OSX out of the way and install Debian.

Does anyone know if there is a web site with a repository of users' experiences 
of running Debian or GNU/Linux on PCs, similar to the www.linux-laptop.net site?

It would certainly have helped me to install Debian on some PCs if I could have 
had a sight of .config, xorg.conf and driver information from others who had 
experience with the same machines.  And I could pass on my experiences.

Interesting bit of history. I suppose to each their own, though I'm
*personally* finding this to be much easier to type on. And I find I'm
using less pressure (at least my hand's feel less tired) and my
accuracy has gone up too.=20

There is no doubt that it's a personal choice thing and one should use
what one prefers. </diplomatic response> ;-)

no doubt there are some stupid keyboards out there. I can't believe
people try to use those "laser" keyboards where the image is projected
on the table top. ridiculous.=20

Hello.  I'm subscribed to the digest of this list, and used to

Hi list,

I've just switched back my dev box from OS X to Debian.
(I was used to be a Debian users but away from Debian for about 3 or
more years.)
OS X is great but Debian is so much better and easier in managing packages.
OS X has some alternative to APT, like Fink and MacPorts
but they are not official and packages is fewer than Debian's.
In addition, Debian provides clearner system, conf is in /etc, binary
is in /usr/bin.

So I'm thinking that I also switch my notebook's OS to Debian.
Before starting this switch, I like to hear some comments from
people who's using Debian on their notebook.
Is there any annoyance?

One thing I worry is battery management
where Apple's MacBook is very good at.
OS X's sleep mode is just works. I love it so much.

Thanks.

I've been using Debian on my Dell Latitude D520.

Everything is working almost properly.. I'm just having problems with
 - USB mouse(only works if I disable touchpad)
 - Intel Wireless system(simply can't install IPW3945)

Everything else is just perfect!

You might want to subscribe to the debian-laptop list, since there
will be a lot of laptop-specific traffic there, and you might get more
prompt responses to questions.  That being said, I've been running
Debian sid on my Thinkpad T23 for several years, and I've been very
happy with it.  Laptops can be a mixed bag, hardware-wise, so it's
more likely that you'll run into an issue where there's no Free
driver.  If you've got all Intel hardware, this shouldn't be a
problem.

Check out acpi, acpid, and acpitools.  Also powertop, which will help
you tweak your system to minimize wakeups-from-idle.  You can
configure acpid to respond to various events like function keys,
close-lid, and open-lid.  See /usr/share/doc/acpid.

Hi, Gnus AFAIK, is included in emacs22 and emacs-snapshot. I think it
might be the deveopment version called No Gnus, nevertheless, you can
use this built in Gnus instead of the stand alone package.

As for w3m, I installed a package w3m-el-snapshot and this works fine
with emacs-snapshot. I hope this helps in some way.

PS: thank you Tatsuya Kinoshita and Romain Francoise for providing these
packages! Now all I need is antialised fonts :-)

Hey,

I'm trying to install bugzilla on my old machine which runs Debian
etch. Aptitude install bugzilla gave me the below error code:

---------------Error begin--------------------------------

 bugzilla
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
---------------Error end--------------------------------

Browse to localhost/bugzilla, I got the below error
