I recently installed Debian potato and apt-getted helix-gnome.
Everything was working fine.

Woody is testing, which is not all that unstable at all. Really, I've
been using it since it became testing, and I haven't had one problem

Hi all...I'm having difficulty getting my network card (3c905c) work under
debian. I've tried using the 3c59x driver (I was using the wrong one before).
It installs ok, but then DHCP won't configure the network. I know that there's
a server present, because that's how windows is configured.
Leonard,
I am pasting my named files for you to crosscheck. I only have one zone here
and it's an INTERNAL dns.. that means that resolves to 10.0.x.x/255.255.0.0
but It will also serve as a Cache Nameserver for other hosts.
Sorry about the lenght of the email.

How do you setup plugins to work with mozilla? I use the nightly

When you say 'meltdown', what exactly do you mean? Can you go into more
detail about what appeared to happen? What kernel version did you
upgrade
Well thanks for replying so soon, the problem that i had is that something
put the NIC into some kind of loop, and eth0 wasn't detected because it was
busy.
Solved it by cutting the power to the entire computer for 5 min, and it
works now :)

This was from a recent bit of spam to hit the debian user list.
Spamcop resolved the sources out to be something in the *.cn namespace
(wherever that is), but I noticed that the "From:" header referenced
my local little ISP, so I'm a little interested in this...
Please correct any analysis mistake

Not really sured why/what happened.
