My /var/log/mail.err is very big due to a misconfiguration error.

So, how to properly empty log files?

Hi,
Major PC vendors store their system installation/rescue disks in 1st
partition (and call it service disk). I'm wondering how they are able to
hide the partition from Windows. Is any tools under Linux that can create
such hidden partitions from Windows. If so, how? and can Linux access
such

Hi,
I'm using Lenny,
- What are the (standard) devices names and mount point names for CD/DVD,
the Debian way?
- Is there any tools to build fstab entries for me according to my CD/
DVDs?
- If not, how can I know which (device) is which for all my CD/DVDs, the
automatically way, not try-and-err

I've tried all the network bandwidth monitoring tools that I know to find

Hi
I'm looking for a light-weighted voice recorder (for quick note taking).
I've tried most of the CLI tools, the problem is that none of them have
the "pause" feature that I need during recording.
I also know many others,

Hi,
I suddenly can't use my microphone for voice recording any more. I made
it work before. Now with the same HW and SW, nothing get recorded. (I can

I am missing the audacious-crossfade plugin, after switching over from

But it no longer exist from the official site. Does it ever exist? What
