Hi,
I've got enough Debian systems where doing an apt-get upgrade when
security holes are a pain. While it would not be to hard to set up a
script to do what in needed remotely, I was wondering if there was a
more standard Debian way to do these things.
If there has been talk of this before, o

I have stable system where I followed the APT-HOWTO on installing stuff
from unstable. That is all well and done now and I want to make my
system all stable again. I don't remember all the packages I installed
from other versions and I don't care. I want back to all stable.

VNC is working great but some programs, Evolution being the main one,
gets a little messed up with fonts. In some text areas there is a box
between every character, making it nearly impossible to read.

I was doing a:

way to get this working? I think I have all the Greek fonts installed,

On some pdf files pdf2ps Segmentation faults on stable Debian. While on
Red Hat 8.0 the don't. I see that the testing version has a closer
version to that of Red Hat. Anybody have luck with running testing
gs-common and/or gs debs on stable?

To get te the point, how ho I change an i686 3.0r1 system with
proposed-updates and the 2.4.22-2-686-smp kernel to be devfs? I would
be most happy with pointers to Linux general documentation on how to
