what back in place *when* I change my mind. :)
Yes, I can't think of good examples, but I'm sure there are some to
show why everything should be updated instead of just security. :)

back of my head is nagging that I may have read some disgruntled
chatter LONG before it ever made enough sense to find a more permanent
spot toward the front of the class where its topic would remain more..

EMOVED:
gimp gimp-ufraw libmypaint-1.3-0 libmypaint-common
The following NEW packages will be installed:
mypaint-data
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 4 to remove and [yada-yada large
packages] not upgraded.
If you didn't have GIMP installed, that wouldn't have hit your radar.
Speak
up.
Those apps would be things that are (presumably) "safely" installed
locally by the various websites we visit. We would hope those apps are
trustworthy. On new upgrades, I always sought that feature out and
toggled it off because I don't have the resources for something like
that to elbow its way into the mix. :)

kids keep throwing the term "dat" around over there.
Maybe one of these years I'll finally get a copy of Beaker installed
(on dialup) so that I can finally catch up to speed with what the
doodle a dat is.. :)

eels like there was a question
where a User was seeking something that needed to specifically be
X11-friendly, too..
There's something to be said for the wide-open wing-it method, though.
Pick any keyword, and see what new find bubbles to the top. I searched
on "dragonfly" the other day while waiting for them to show back up
and start chasing water sprays out in the yard this Spring. :)

That was my brain's interpretation, too... with the further thought
process that NEXT TIME... those of us who follow Debian-Publicity and
similar could help out by forwarding the most important of those
updates over
ry/129944/due-to-expired-certificate-all-firefox-extensions-disabled/
Does anyone know if that might affect things in this manner?

'm halfway thinking it might be something from
Linux From Scratch (LFS) or similar Linux self-education type
exercises. Whatever I'm not remembering, that's what this feels
like...
If it's not quite what you were saying, it's still showing a...
not-quite-anticipated twist on things so that's why I posted. The last
few steps came to mind to test as I was typing this up. :)

e that point on home. I'm almost
already fully grasping at this second because I just worked my own
thought process via terminal. I'm going to reread the above a few more
times then wait for that Linux operation that finally draws it all
together enough to invoke an *ah-HAAA* moment. :)

ot;sensors -f" provides the (hopefully
correct) CPU temps plus the threshold they're not supposed to touch.
Also provides fan speed... that's actually a number larger than zero
in mine these days. :)

was looking for a *Debian* alternative solution... not being

insight was posted here on the... *Debian*-User listserv. :)

till need tweaking, too. Give root a password as soon
as you can so you don't accidentally get locked out somehow. It's been
a long time since that happened to me, but I think it was just a minor
pain about having to reboot back into my old setup to then go back
into chroot again to correct it.. or something ? :)
