This isn't really a laptop problem, but i don't subsribe to all the lists.
I am running debian somewhere between unstable and frozen on a palmax pd-1100, and everything is working perfectly. However, when at work i sit behind a socks5 based proxy firewall, which kind of screws things up. Does anybody have experience of this ? I have just started playing with dante-client, which is supposed to allow you to 'socksify' applications, and it worked to a point with ftp in that i managed to connect to an external site, but got errors when i actually tried to ls or get, (cd worked fine). Now, it could be my setup is wrong for dante-client (not much docs), so has any body succesfully used dante-client ? I can send my config file if anybody can help, But my ultimate reason for doing this is that i want to be able to use apt-get from behind this firewall....so i need to socksify apt-get, has anybody done this ?
