How do i get my .Xdefaults file to be read? I am trying to get my emacs to use the colors specified in my .Xdefaults. with LinuxPPC it worked but it seems like debian isn't even looking at the .Xdefaults file. If debian doesn't use this file, is there another way to get it to take my colors?

Where is libiberty.h? (trying to compile MOL on Debian)

I've been trying to compile mol-0.9.41 on my PowerMac 7300 running Debian Potato but it complains that libiberty.h is missing. In which package can I find this? A search of debian.org or of Usenet yielded no clue. Thanks, Renaud

I was wondering, just as an offhand question, whether the unstable branch of gnome is available anywhere as gnome .deb packages, either for x86 or for powerpc? If I wanted to run the CVS version of gnome instead of the official debian one (say, for instance, I wanted to try Nautilus), what should

No no no... Storm Linux is an -excellent- product from all I've seen of it. They are a very intelligent, talented group of people, and their hearts are in the right places - most of its best parts will feed back into debian, and you can upgrade most of it from debian mirror sites. On Tue, Feb 29

From all accounts that I've found, I've been informed that Storm Linux 2000 is based off an outdated version of Debian (possibly hamm)... I'm not sure if they even bothered to upgrade the packages themselves or not... I've gone and downloaded their ISO from their site but haven't yet burned

Hi! What do you think about Storm Linux 2000? I've been reading a little about it, and according to them, it's more easy to install than Debian although it's been built on Debian. Is Storm Linux 2000 a threat to Debian or is it a good thing that Debian is the source for new Linux distributions? h
