I recently got tired of taking care of my own installation of linux and decided to install debian. So far, I've been pretty happy with it.
I'm sure I'll have more questions later, but I've got some questions right now. 1: Is it necessary to have all the dead accounts that come in the distribution password have /bin/sh as the shell? Some, like nobody and the qmail daemons, aren't suppose to have a real shell, because people aren't suppose to be able to log in with those IDs. Ever. I changed my password file, but it seems odd that they would be there in the first place. 2: This is a question arising from my ignorance of linux -- I run linux on a laptop, and I periodically see the message: apm_bios: set display standby: Power management disabled or apm_bios: set display ready: Power management disabled I've looked around apmd and apm but there don't sem to be any options for the display. I assume that it is suppose to be turning off the backlight when it spits that out. I'm sure I think of others -- like where did the fat filesystem files in the debian kernel sources for 2.0.34 go? And is the pdksh in the unstable/stable distributions the most up to date? The one I've got installed complains about "break: can only break 2 level(s)" where the version I had before never complained. I can't get to my backup, though, because I can't mount the filesystem that has my backup tarfile on it though... All in all, though, looks pretty good. thanks, chris -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
