Hey all,
On my PC I have 2 hard disks. The primary one has Windows XP
installed. Afterwards, I decide to learn Linux. So I got another Hard
disk and installed Debian stable successfully on it. Now, I'm thinking
of make my PC serve as the file back up server for my home office. I
will install back
I just installed the Linux driver for my printer a Samsung ML-1710, printer
worked fine but now the system hangs on boot, I have attached a screenshot of
where the boot stalls.
I am not sure what to make of it, should I do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?

I Googled on "iceweasel user-agent string". I followed a suggestion at
"http://www.debianhelp.org/node/3595": go to the url about:config and
change general/useragent.extra.firefox to "Firefox/2.0". My problem did
not go away.

It won't break. However, with Etch frozen, testing hasn't been getting
an infusion of stuff from Sid that is otherwise ready for testing. Once
Etch is stable, AIUI, testing (Lenny) will start to receive the backlog
from Sid. So there will be burst of activity, if you will, just after
