I'm after thoughts on the current best colour printer to go for
(or sites I should consult for this information)...
I don't do a lot of colour printing, so I don't care about speed
or heavy duty construction.
It is mainly for CD/DVD labels, and the occasional print of a

I am trying to get up the courage to update my debian etch system
after a few months of neglecting to do so, but am dreading the thought of
some mishap leaving the system unusable.
The system was installed back in April, and is on a Fujitsu P7120, and
aptitude produces quite a long list of things

The 'display manager' is responsible for giving 'users' access

1. dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda
2. vi /etc/fstab in the copy and 1,$s/hda/sda/

Does anyone know the secret to getting Etch to power down the system
after a halt. I have tried 'apt-get install apmd', but it doesn't
seem to have helped.
I know the hardware can do it, because it worked with the very old
version of Ubuntu I tried before Debian (5.04).
The machine is a Dell Prec

I have installed Etch using a recent netinstall on a Dell Precision 410,

'segmentation fault' errors and total system freezes which required a

The curious thing is that I am fairly sure that the drive is
ok, because
