Bem, a vantagem que eu vejo é q o ogg me parece mais bem
estruturado (tanto que eles lançaram agora um formato de vídeo
que é "irmão gêmeo" do ogg - não existe equivalente em mp3).
A desvantagem é que é um pouco mais pesado que o mp3, mas mesmo
assim eu acho que vale a pena.

Use o non-US. Basicamente, os dois são a mesma coisa, mas o
non-US tem pacotes que lidam com criptografia, como pgp,
kerberos, apache-ssl, e assim por diante.
Isso porque nos EUA existe uma lei que proíbe a transmissão de
qualquer tipo de algoritmo de criptografia em qualquer formato
pra fora do país. Assim, o non-US contém programas que não
poderiam ser distribuídos a partir dos EUA.

Então vc tem q montar ele como dispositivo SCSI, só que com o

dispositivo SCSI que use esse mesmo arquivo do /dev):

Once logged in, go to

And download all the .bin files you find there. You'll have to
get some floppy disks and transfer these .bin files (floppy images) to
the floppies (one per disk). Then, use the floppy with the rescue.bin
image to boot the computer and insert the root.bin one when asked.
However it would be much easier if you went to

boot from the first CD.

(There is lots of "why you > should use Linux" but not much of "why I use Debian rather than > something else".) Okay, then. Here is how it happened to me. I started using Linux just about 1 1/2 year ago, I was interested because, amongst a lot of Windoze NT machines in the computing room at the Physics Institute (where I study), I saw some displays with a "strange" screen (it was xdm) I had never seen before. A friend of mine, who was used to that system, told me it was another OS called Linux, that it was free (he told he that meant I would not pay anything to use it, and any copy would be perfectly legal). I was used to the Windoze world, and so I didn't believe it. And I believed it even less when he told me it would not give me those blue screens... Anyway, I decided to give it a try (oh, the old times when I thought computers could not be fun...). At first, it impressed me by the visual style of the thing, I just loved all those configurations I could set for it (I fell in love with Afterstep :-P). I didn't know the distros existed yet. The system where I got my first account was a Debian Slink, and thanks to its administrator it was well-configured, and that gave me a good first impression. And I got really impressed when, after 6 months, it had never let me down. In the previous 6 months, using NT, the system failed me about 5 times a week... Some time later, I began using other distributions and installing Linux on some machines. The first thing I tried was Conectiva Linux, a brazilian "distribution", that in fact was just copied from (ack!) Red Hat (don't even try that thing, unless you want to have some problem). Then I tried Mandrake, Red Hat (which I just HATED), Corel, Caldera... anything impressed me like Debian. Anyway, if you want to know why I use (and STRONGLY recommend) Debian, here it goes: 1) If Linux is already a thousand times more stable than "that" OS, Debian is even more stable than any of them; 2) Even if the affirmation that Debian MAY not have up-to-date packages, the dpkg/apt-get stuff is the best package managing system ever, and that makes easy to make a ultra-stable server and a development desktop-box; 3) I feel comfortable using it - its structure is the one that works with me (I can navigate without any problem in the system) 4) It follows strictly the GNU philosophy: anything is more FREE than Debian. Sorry if my english is not the best in the world. Also, these are only my opinions. -- francisco m. neto (a.k.a ikari himura keiichi) Linux User #192809 ICQ #78493934 http://socrates.if.usp.br/~einstein "Toke au kokoro ga, watashi o kowasu" -- Ayanami Rei

Me, too. It's simple and fast. It also has lots of
configuration options, you can define the bitrate of the mp3's, all
the information that goes in the id3 tag, the format of the filename,
and it also creates a m3u playlist!
You can also determine the nice leval, max number of encoding
processes, and many other performance options.
I use it even for playing audio cd's, it has a nice
interface. If you use GNOME, it also gets integrated into it, since it
uses GTK.
For CD ripping and encoding, I see no option: cdparanoia and
lame, the perfect combination.

Gnome is not a window manager. It's a complete desktop group of
applications. BTW, the best window manager for use with it is actually sawfish.
To avoiding loading WindowMaker at the startup, you should:
1) The .xsession file in your home directory and leave 'exec
gnome-session' as the only uncommented line on it;
2) Open the Gnome Control Panel and select your preferred window
manager.

You have to edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list, substituting the
'stable' word for 'unstable'. Then, enter 'apt-get update; apt-get

NIS and device permissions
Hi there,
I'm implementing a NIS at work and some issues about device
permissions ocurred to me.
I'm willing to give permission to users to use the sound
hardware on the local machines. However, due to the fact that they are
registered users only in the server, I didn't manage to add them to the system
group 'audio', so they could have acces to /dev/mixer, /dev/dsp and /dev/audio.
I had to give these devices a 666 permission, which is *very*
uncomfortable, I think.
Anyone knows how cna I solve it in a better way?

If I'm not wrong, this is the same chipset from Soundblaster
PCI 128. The kernel module for this chipset to work is es1371, which
IS available on 2.4.2 and comparatively works even better that the
original driver from Creative.

Here all I can give you are the same old words:
Try to use aumix to set the sound volume...
Verify the connections between your speakers and the sound
card...
Maybe you forgot to turn the speakers on?

The point is that, when you do an 'apt-get update', it will update the package database for the newest version of X - version 3.3. When you do 'apt-get upgrade', it will try to install that version of XFree, and it will conflict with your new installation of XF4 that supposedly doesn't exist, and, at the same time, it won't find the XFree that the database says is there.

Well, I'm not a [EMAIL PROTECTED] customer, but I use a cable ISP as

1) Have the following lines in /etc/network/interfaces:

X won't start in woody
Hi there,
I've been trying to install woody on a PIII with a SiS 620 graphics
chipset for the last 6 hours. Everything was working fine while I was using
potato, but when I made a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' it began to complain about a
lot of dependencies, and ended up saying that 'there was a problem while
processing the package xlibs-4.1.0.???.deb'.
After half an hour trying to understand what was happening, I decided
to make a fresh instalation of woody. Here is where the problem arrives:
everything went OK, except for X. The graphics chipset was working fine with
XF3, but it won't work properly under XF4.
I know that the chipset (SiS 620) IS supported by both XF3 and XF4.
Anyone knows how to solve the problem, or, even better (I think), how
to get XF3 to be installed on woody the right way (so other packages that
depend on it won't complain)?
Thanks,

The main differente between audio cds and data cds is that data cds consist of 1's and 0's, and audio cds don't. In data cds each bit has two possible orientations: one of those is 1, and the other one is 0. Audio cds doesn't even have bits: they consist of a sequence of "bits" that have orientations that will reflect the laser this or that way, thus leading to the digitalized audio generation.

Have a look at the link below; I'd be happy to help if you have questions. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/AptConfiguration -- []'s, Francisco M Neto 3E58 1655 9A3D 5D78 9F90 CFF1 D30B 1694 D692 FBF0

Eh, I hadn't seen this message when I sent my last reply. My apologies. Maybe apt-mirror is the better alternative then. Other sync programs might work too (ftpsync, rsync) but they might be less effective since they don't know about debian mirrors. -- []'s, Francisco M Neto 3E58 1655 9A3D 5D78 9F90 CFF1 D30B 1694 D692 FBF0

I'm not sure about apt but you can check the tracker page for that package. It will give you the name of the maintainer and clicking on the 'DMD' link will take you to their dashboard. In the dashboard you can see all the packages that person is involved with. Cheers, -- Francisco M Neto

There are a lot of people that are not that familiar with Debian, and sometimes it's comprehensible that they don't look for search engines right away; a lot of times the answers that come up on a search apply to derivatives. Ubuntu is so ubiquitous these days that I've seen plenty of people that just follow instructions meant for it, but under Debian. So it's (from a certain point of view) comendable that they come to this list instead. After all this is _the_ Debian User Group; and it's sad that sometimes they are met with less-than-tolerant responses. Although I can completely understand (and to some extent, relate to) the way some people feel when a discussion list is sometimes treated as a support desk, a more welcoming response is more likely to create a more conscientious Debian user. That was MY €0.02. Cheers, Francisco signature.asc Description: PGP signature

No. I feel I should point out, though, that there are a number of advantages to this approach. Using sudo instead of logging in as root (or rather using su to get access to a root prompt) is a safer approach since it adds a layer of insurance against "accidents", not to mention every command is logged (which is good in any case, but mandatory in case of multi-user systems), avoids using the root shell and is overall safer agains hacking/cracking.

Well... maybe? I mean, certain developers or maintainers may be aware of the release cycle and delay their uploads into unstable until after the new stable is released. In that case, Sid should experience an unusually high number of updates over the next few weeks. -- []'s, Francisco M Neto GPG: 4096R/D692FBF0 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
