Oh good! :-) Been there, done that, and expect to be there again. Sigh, the human condition? "grep $blah lists.debian.org" first next time may help. :-|

The problem, I think, is that, in multi-user systems printers are connected to application software via print queues instead of directly attached like in single-user OSs. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA "(Women are) like compilers.

my very partial experience points to the binaries (perhaps the version of the compliler and the c/c++ libraries more than the source code of dpkg, apt, and aptitude) and their memory usage more than the quantity of packages from sources.list (which can have lines for more than one among .../woody/sarge/etch/... and use preferences to install from only one of them. But there is a harcoded limit to maximum the number of packages that apt can see before starting to exit with "E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of." as one can see from the database of open bugs) Has someone done more precise tests to understand the cause of this loss of performance? Has someone done tests with dpkg, apt, and aptitude compiled against uclibc or dietlibc? (In woody's times there were on the net a recompliation of a self-contained part of a debian system using dietlibc intead of glibc. Things like this might be even more useful now for users of less powerful hardware) -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te. Digli di smettere.

I'm just wondering, why don't you want the filetype? One of the reasons=20 I started using vim was it's syntax highlighting.

The server check Platform Manifest and RunTime Manifest. Platform Manifest includes the boot record and RunTime Manifest includes the log of executed applications on Linux-IMA. If the manifests don't match, the server returns error. http://sourceforge.jp/projects/openpts/wiki/FrontPage/attach/20080129-KNOPPIX511TCG-OPTS-UsersGuide-v1_0-E.pdf The database on the server is updated by DSA:Debian Security Advisory. http://www.debian.org/security/ -- suzaki >>A >> >>ps. thanks for continuing to answer these question.
