Periodic distro question

I guess this is really just a vent/rant but... I am a current user of Debian. I picked it from Slackware because I was in favor of a faster install process than slackwares. Of course I had fewer questions in Slackware because I was always RTMing. Debian makes it easier to not do that. I als

Re: Periodic distro question

Hello, not to drop gasoline on the fire, but, as an user of another distro intending to try debian, I am obviously interested in the issues you raise. May I ask you to clarify a bit more what you mean by "the extensive bloat that Debian has shown" and "the continued abstraction levels of Debian

problems with filesystem

Hi, I am running woody on a Toshiba 1800-314. I decided to compile a new kernel to fine tune a few things, include fb support and upgrade to 2.4.17 (previously I was using the kernel image 2.2.20). The compilation process was quite straightforward and after installing the new kernel and runing l

Re: [ltp] Periodic distro question

Personally I'd have to say that basically Linux has gotten HUGELY more complex than it used to be. I remember back in the days of the 0.99 series kernels, when Yggdrasil was THE only "distribution" and then Slackware came along and everyone thought that was complex and unwieldy! The point is, b

ACPI and suspend

Hi. Curious I was. So I decided to test ACPI on my Inspiron 81k. Well, the stuff works better, than I thought. ;) Now I'd like to know how to tell the system to suspend, when closing the lid? Unfortunately there is no command like 'apm -s'. I'm currently using 2.4.17 with patches from sourceforge.
