Iceweasel 11 is equivalent to which version of Firefox?
May-15, 2013 by: Phil Shapiro
From: Phil Shapiro ------------------------------------------------------ Hi chuggaluggers, Does anyone happen to know what the equivalency is between Debian's Iceweasel 11 (installed with Debian 7) and the equivalent Firefox version number? phil -- Phil Shapiro, pshapiro@his.com http://www.his.com/pshapiro/briefbio.html http://www.twitter.com/philshapiro http://www.his.com/pshapiro/stories.menu.html "Wisdom begins with wonder." - Socrates "Learning happens thru gentleness."
I have the mobo. Which OS?
May-15, 2013 by: "kitepilot@kitepilot
From: "kitepilot@kitepilot.com" ------------------------------------------------------ Hello all: Well, somehow I got a link to this puppy: http://www.mini-box.com/pico-SAM9G45-X It has everything I need! My plan is to add a wireless radio to the miniPCI bus and deploy these babies as AP and bridges in my network. I don't need any security and/or fancy configuration other than to optimize the wireless link, because all security is done at the firewall level. Question is: Which OS? I am leaning towards a flat Debian, but I am entertaining building me a Open-WRT image for it. Any insights? Which one or which not? Thanks! ET
Introduction
May-09, 2013 by: Keith
From: Keith ------------------------------------------------------ Hello all, My name is Keith Morton and I'm a recent transplant to Chattanooga. I've actually technically lived here since September of last year, but I spent most of the time since September in the Chicago area holed up working on a giant project. That project and the travel have since scaled back quite a bit. I've been watching the list for a while, but now that I'm back in town on a more permanent basis, I figured it's time I introduce myself. I've been a Linux/Unix enthusiast since my first Debian install in 2004. I use Linux/Unix every day at work and embarrassingly less at home these days due to various factors. I work in the IT department of a cell phone company, and I specialize in automation and monitoring. I'm looking forward to getting to know the community here in Chatt and to finally getting to play with the 3D printer on the 4th floor. -- Thanks, Keith
.htaccess -- SOLVED

A call to hostgator helped me to realize the .htaccess file needed to
be IN the doc root, not just above it.
THANKS, EVERYONE !

New toy: gitk

From: Mike Harrison ------------------------------------------------------ If any of you are using 'git' for version control, I have a new favorite toy: gitk. it's kinda sorta like: git log -p filename With a gui interface that works fairly well, even when logged into a remote server ( using ssh -X ). http://git-scm.com/docs/gitk or just: "apt-get install gitk" (for those debian-ish users)
debianish based hosting or local colo
December-27, 2012 by: Rod-Lists
From: Rod-Lists ------------------------------------------------------ I'm getting ready to start a few projects to get my name ought there. and I want to handle more of the under the hood stuff. And since I'm a padawan of the debian side of the force, they will mostly be debian/ubuntu type machines. While I can do a lot from home, anything involving mail servers is blocked on residential. What are current debian based hosting options or local colo shops?

If just me I'd build something with openbox and add asI need. However most of these will go normal users. Most target os's are based on lxde. So which you like peppermint, lubuntu, straight debian?
Reinstalling Linux
November-04, 2012 by: James Nylen
From: James Nylen ------------------------------------------------------ I always find the process of reinstalling an OS very painful, and I try to do it as rarely as possible. But, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my main PC, and it is really starting to show its age, along with some strange quirks. The last straw is that gnome-panel refuses to display the system-monitor applet now. I like having those important system health indicators always visible. (I'm probably going to switch to plain Debian next, or maybe something like Bodhi - I want nothing to do with unity on my desktop). The problem is that I have a lot of custom configuration (Apache with a fairly extensive custom config and related scripts, a few important patches installed, custom window manager setup, etc.) that will be pretty time-consuming to redo. So here's my question: in the future, how can I minimize the time spent on annoying things like configuring my webserver how I want after a reinstall? Any good methods for lightweight application virtualization? Also, is there a way that I can take my current machine, turn it into a VM, and keep it running until I can get services back up in a new install? Preferably all this would happen with minimal downtime.
Trisquel -> interesting linux distro
October-28, 2012 by: Mike Harrison
From: Mike Harrison ------------------------------------------------------ http://trisquel.info/ Just saw this after a press stunt at a Windows 8 launch where they touted: "Windows 8 is a downgrade, not an upgrade, because it steals users' freedom, security and privacy." from a guy wearing a pretty cool looking Gnu head: http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/gnus-trick-or-treat-at-windows-8-launch gets some major cred for Gorilla/Gnu Marketting. It looks like a "free" centrix remix of Ubuntu/Debian. http://trisquel.info/en/screenshots and I don't see any "Unity" ============================================================ Mike Harrison bogon@geeklabs.com cell: 423.605.6943
ZipIt - ZipIt Good
October-23, 2012 by: Chad Smith
From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ So, yeah, I had to give a shout out to Devo, but I'm not sure if the ZipIt Z2 is good or not yet. I want to put OpenWRT on it, or Debian, but I'm not sure which. I know a while back, Stephen Kraus was thinking about getting one and playing with it, but that was a long time ago, and I'm not sure if he ever got one or not. Anyway, it was $15 on ebay, so I have one now. For those of you who don't know, (which may be everyone) a ZipIt is a pocket-size clamshell device with WiFi that was built for Texting. Even out of the box it's a neat little thing. Looks like a doll-sized laptop. It has: - QWERTY keyboard - A direction pad and some other function keys - Color Display - WiFi - MiniSD slot - Speaker - Headphone jack - some sort of serial port on the back My goal is basically to install some other OS and let it do basic web surfing, email, RSS, that type of thing. I've seen it actually do Hulu streaming somehow - but it was all CLI based and not really something I need to do. I'd also like to play NES games on it, just to say I did. Really - it's all just to say I did. It's not like I will be using this thing as a daily tool or anything. I've seen hacks that involve mouse emulation (via the d-pad I assume) and hooking USB up to the port on the back to use a real mouse and/or keyboard. Any advice on which path I should choose? (Basically between OpenWRT and Debian/Ubuntu - but if you have other options, please share!) *- Chad W. Smith*
Raspberry Pi, and how to start X automatically
October-22, 2012 by: James Nylen
From: James Nylen ------------------------------------------------------ I finally got my Raspberry Pi in the mail last week (I ordered it back in June). I'm working on getting it set up with XBMC to play TV shows. My wife is not happy about the ethernet cable running through the house, but I have assured her it is temporary. One of the first things I need to do is have it start the X server automatically when it powers up. This page ( http://elinux.org/RPi

Imaged Debian 6 ASUS EeeBox computer - IPv4 issue
August-24, 2012 by: Jonathan Burishkin
From: Jonathan Burishkin
------------------------------------------------------
*iSeriesAccess-5.4.0-1.6.i386.rpm on Debian 6 GNU/Linux 32-bit.*
*ASUS EeeBox EB1007.*
After I imaged a Debian 6 system, and ran: rm
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
The system seems to loose connection every 3 minutes or so, when I first
boot I see a ipv4 address and ipv6. After it looses connection I only see a
ipv6 address...
Maybe its the IBM iSeriesAccess software? Maybe wicd? maybe I need a
different network manager?
Its rather odd. I switched from wicd to network-manager and the same thing
happens.
I found out that after a user uses iSeriesAccess then it freezes, the inet
address (ipv4) is not listed in ifconfig;
but when I run /etc/init.d/network-manager stop (or same thing with wicd)
the inet address (IPv4) shows up and it works again....??!!

++
This may be an issue with the network?
When I have the computer in same building as the server room it does not
lose connection at all. When I have it in another building a couple miles
away it looses connection.
But, the Windows computers with IBM iSeriesAccess don't loose connection
and neither do the old Neoware thin-clients running some old Linux system.
