Is there a debian pcnfs distribution? I found a set of source code but it
requires the shadow library for compliation, and I couldnt find a shadow

Ideas?
Ho 'bout aleph, bet, gimmee!

If you goto www.debian .org follow the debian package links.
When you choose a package this way it will list all dependent and recommend
packages. This is the simplest I know to check out dependences.

libstdc++2.8_2.90.29-2, which should be on most mirrors by now has been
recompiled with the fixed libc6.
Is there some script I can use to find out which installed packages
aren't used by other packages.
It's about time for me to get rid of all the unused libraries that has
been installed when testing various games and other stuff.
I need some simple way to list all such deletion candidates. Is ther
