hi
I've installed xfree ver 3.3.6-6, still having problems though. Have
included the output from running 'startx' (thorough "startx &> startxout").
Would be grateful for any assistance ...

do you have any other system users created in /etc/passwd?

Hi,
I'm going to move from my present distribution to Debian and know you have
an upcoming 2.2 release coming out soon. Will the book Learning GN/Debian

Whenever my mail file gets too large, my mail administrator moves all the

You can edit the ~/.pinerc i think..
There is some options there where to looke for the mailboxes..
Just change it to ~/Mail or something.

I have a problem with fetchmail (potato/PPC, dial-up connection).

Hello,
It is indeed possible to run the Linux operating system as well as
Windows. It involves installing Windows first and then Linux. This
process called "dual-booting", is what many people use to work with
Linux and play with Windows. Linux comes with the Linux Loader or LILO,

Look for /boot/config-*. That is where the files are kept (even for your
