I always stick a x-terminal-emulator at the end of that file so that if the WM bombs for some reason, I'll get an xterm and at least know that X is working... also, I use `exec /path/to/WM` so that when the WM does work, it will replace the current process so that upon exiting that xterm won't be and keep the X session up.

Really? I am running Debian Etch on a PowerBook G4 and have no problems at all. In fact, I really did not have to hack around or anything.

That's interesting. In the last couple of days I found that Iceweasel was crashing when I tried to access my account on amazon.co.uk. Eliminating flashplayer has prevented this behaviour.

Is the silence because it's a stupid question or because there isn't a preferred work around for this? Thanks.

I was reading the Debian Reference doc section 5.2 going to upgrade from i believe the terms are Etch Stable to testing. I did a cp -f sources.list sources.list.old and later discovered that both files were of zero length. I assume i have a problem? I was using an http retrieval method, the installer said http was less prown to errors so i went with it. And the mirror i was using was osuosl.org. During the initial install i was asked about what types of software i'd like, i selected all of it, from memory that's contrib, non-free, stable, security, there's probably more. How can i regenerate my sources.list file and then proceed with my upgrade to testing? Thanks. Dave.

Do you need more help?

Does anyone have experience of using Turion64 CPUs on desktop boards? I'd prefer Mini-ATX or smaller. From what I've read it's just a E6 stepping Socket-754 processor, so any board that supports that *should* work, but I'm not finding any boards that list support for Turion64 CPUs? Thanks

What part of the message don't you understand? You are trying to install a kernel image in a version which you already have installed. Overwriting the /lib/modules/<kernel version> directory might be a bad idea and that's why you should probably move the existing directory out of the way before installing the new one.

Ubuntu may have its own customizations that Debian does not have. NEVER copy and paste a main.cf from someone else! >

Asusming that above listed is your server's postconf output, As root run : Lets not use unknown variables here so : # postconf -e smtpd_banner=$myhostname Your forgot the square brackets for the relayhost. This is not a must but it helps speed things up as square brackets stops postfix from doing MX lookups. #postconf -e relayhost=[smtp.gmail.com]:587 AFAIK, no need to use CApaths for relaying with Gmail. # postconf -e smtp_tls_CApath= and reload Postfix.
