Hi, I have been using Red Hat Linux exclusively for a little over a year
now, but feel that it is time to reinstall my system sometime soon. I
was thinking I would like to switch to Debian, but have a few questions:

First of all, please excuse if I seem frustrated, I'm at the pulling my

adventure started. I'm having a lot of trouble getting my sound card to
work. It is an IS

Hi, I just moved over from redhat and am wondering about how to do a few
things in the debian package management system.
1) If you know the name of a file you need, but not what package it is
part of, what's the best way to find out what package you need?

Hopefully this can be useful to someone. Thanks again to everyone who helped me.

Hi, I'm having some weirdness happening with root on my system. In

Forget it, I fixed it. For some reason Sawfish refused to create the
~/.sawfish/custom file by itself so I just had to touch that file to create
it and now all my settings get saved. Thanks anyway. -Jeff

I wouldn't go all the way up to sid. I am in the process of downgrading from
