Or if you doesn't want to use GNOME; 'xcolorsel', or look at

I actually like xcolorsel better than the latest Helix-GNOME gcolorsel,

Sometimes I see my machine nearly freezing, and then becoming good

Hi.
How is the lifecycle of ``unstable''?
I'm thinking about upgrading from Potato to Woody and stick with it, but
I'm a little wary that it might pose too many problems along the way.
The reason I think that is that my very first contact with Debian was
Potato as of last december, with the very

Hi all
Some days ago I asked about running Debian on ReiserFS, and was told it
could be done.
That was true, I now have installed Debian on ReiserFS, and written a
little piece about it on:

Enjoy!

Hi sven.
I have this script I use to start mutt:

rxvt +sb -g 80x50 -fg white -bg black -T Mutt -f
4 is not installed with the
automagic install per the instructions on helixcode's website.
You have to fetch those other packages later, same goes for all the
nice gtk & sawfish themes (~20MB extra).

If you wanna pay $$ many of the good ppl on misc@OpenBSD.org
can use hotmail through Outlook Express, at least there's
an option for it, I've never managed to make it work!
For checking your hotmail I once heard about a script named "gotmail",
I think, which could do the trick, YMMV.
