Hey,
I have a laptop P2 300mhz, 128mb ram and a desktop box thats 2ghz,512mb ram.
The question is that could i use my 2ghz machine to make and compile a

install it and it work ?

Would i need any extras ? i know i would have to select the hardware for 
the laptop, but would i need to include the hardware for the 2ghz or 
just the laptop ?
   

Probably just the laptop, BUT, I seem to recall the *config doing
limited hardware probing (like, if you don't watch out you'll get a P4
only kernel).
You may wish to look into distcc. It is a wrapper for gcc that spreads
the work between multiple computers, e.g:
Your laptop and your desktop will be faster than your desktop alone.
 

Hey,
Thanks for the reply.
I think i will try a compile on my desktop first and then transfer it over.
As the laptop has only just been installed up so i havnt a problem with 
loosing anything if the kernel doesnt work or i mess something up.

Then if that doesnt work, i think i will look at trying the other thing 
you mentioned about spreading between them.

Thanks again
Grant.

This happened to me when i first installed sarge.  Choosing the 2.6
kernel (type 'linux26' from the installer boot prompt) fixed it.

'Quanta' is pretty good and easy to use.Comes packaged with KDE in Debian 
Woody, so hopefully is still there in Sarge.

Or Bluefish is a bit smaller and less elaborate, I think.

I can't answer for whether either does Java or stuff like that though.

I managed to track the "offending" process down with "top" and a sharp

Try laptop_mode in newer kernels:

/proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
and
/proc/sys/vm/block_dump

Debian's laptop-mode-tools controls the former, IIRC.

I have the same problem. I'm not able to access my debian box from
windows using putty, but I don't have a problem when accessing it from
a linux box on the LAN. I haven't made any changes to the config

Personally, I'd dispense with LIRC until you can get the TV card working.
Makes sense.
If LIRC really is missing modules, your kernel config should look 
something like this:

 I2C support
 I2C bit-banging
 I2C device interfaces
 I2C /proc
 Video for Linux
 BT848 Video for Linux
I couldn't find all of these modules under modconf for 2.6 kernel.
As for the mythtv part of it.  When I try to watch TV I get a rather 
unresponsive black screen.

Have you tried watching TV outside of Myth? It's generally alot easier 
to test your TV card with cat /dev/video0 or mplayer before you hurry 
into Myth. A straight black screen usually means you've loaded your 
modules wrong (typically specifying the wrong tuner type). Once you get 
static, you're in business ;)
It appears that xine works, but I have no TV device to work with.
And Mplayer works but the ALSA sound it's trying to attach doesn't seem 
to work.  I had throught this was working but there's nothing in the 
kernel configuration for this.  Again, there isn't anything in modconf 
to support ALSA either.

I thought ALSA was provided in the 2.6 kernel?
uname -r
2.6.7-1-k7
TBH though, troubleshooting issues like this is a very hit-and-miss 
process. Post some more info about your setup (card revision, ivtv 
version, ivtv module loader, etc) things should be easier to 
troubleshoot; you might also want to consider joining the mythtv-users 
mailing list, which has proved invaluable in getting my Myth box into a 
usable state (esp. with regard to getting a PAL version running, as 
these have slightly different module configs).

Hello All,

I have two ethernet cards on my machine one , both Realteck 
at the time of installation testing/woody it have detected both
also when it was showing both at first boot , but it shows me 
eth1 down

when i try to up it it give me error i.e

ebian:~# ifup eth1
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up eth1.

if this is the case that , "no eth1 found" then how can i re-install 
my NIC , as i d'nt have driver on cd , so i have to downlaod it.

ALSA on 2.6

[Tom Allison]

How to I check if ALSA is actually working on my system?
I have sound, but things like mplayer say that alsa can't be found.
xine works fine, but I can't find anything in the xine menus to tell me 
what it's using for sound.

Eventually I want to set up a TV card, but I need to go back and check 
off the basics.  It looks like a lot of things did not get set up the 
way I had expected.

I made an assumption that kernel 2.6 provided alsa without additional 
configuration other than loading the hardware drivers.

IBM Compatibility

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

Hi
It is the first time I am subscribing to any debian list.

I have recently become a "convert" of debian and would just like to know
some things regarding ibm hardware.

I am ordering IBM G40 Thinkpads and would like to know wether they will
work nicely with debian. Googling seems to say that in general ibm
hardware will work painlessly with linux but no definitive answer on
debian or any other distro. There is also not much in terms of it not
working which I think is positive.

I am also looking at purchasing a ibm X345 server which apparently the
only problem with it, to install woody is the scsi controller. Someone
has told my though that using the hilux installer this can be fixed. Any
comments appreciated.

Personally I also like quanta, its got good syntax highlighting. As
for a WSIWYG editor you would be best to run dreamwaver, I know it

ndiswrapper is a pain ... sometimes it works .. sometimes it doesnt
"works" == it can ping/ssh the outside wired world

what is the chipset ?? ( run lspci )
- all manufacturers tend to change chipset on the
same model they are selling  ( sometiems they put in little
hints things like version 1, version 2, sometimes and usually not)

for list of supported hw ... see what hw is at your local
pc store or your buddy's working wireless linux pc or your fav online
store

http://www.Linux-Wireless.org/Drivers

-- look at the hw list of that driver

i use netgear wg311 (unmarked) for 802.11g .. w/ madwifi cards
newer wg311 (v2 on the box only) uses the (worthless) ti chipset

Certainly check your logs:

/var/log/messages
/var/log/XFree86.0.log

I get this sometimes as well, but once the CPU goes back to normal, it's fine.

pppoeconf doesn't work

[The Cypher]

I can't seem to figure out what's the problem, but after detecting eth0,
it gives me an error about not finding an "access concentrator".
What's strange is that the same tool in knoppix does find it and all I
need to do is
type my username and password in order to connect using my ADSL connection.
I tried loading the modules for my ethernet device
with "modporbe via-rhine" and modprobe "pppoe" and yet it still doesn't work.
Do I need to apply some kind of update, or some different settings?

Generally speaking distros donât make much of a difference.
Debian is just starting the autodection game, but Knoppix and Gnoppix,
which are Debian-based, are there already.  Other than that, hardware
support is a funcion of the Linux kernel and X, and these are about
the same for all distros.

Complement your Googling with the Hardware Compatibility HOWTO

Personally I like the Proxim Orinoco b/g card. It uses
the madwifi driver and it seems to work very well. It
has a strong internal antenna and it also has a plug
on the end that you can remove if you would like to
put an external antenna on it in the future, or if you
just want to go wardriving.

You could do so right away. Just note that running a 2.6 kernel would

It seems that the module (driver) for your card(s) is not being 
automatically loaded.

# ifconfig -a

should show you all available interfaces. It is my guess that you won't 
find eth0 or eth1 there. To make the devices known to your OS, load the 
module, which could be any of:

# modprobe 8139too
# modprobe 8139cp
# modprobe r8169

depending on which specific Realtek card you have. After you've loaded 
the modules, the devices should be available. Once they are, append the 
names of the modules you used to /etc/modules, to make sure they're 
loaded automatically on subsequent startups.

At that point, an ifup should work.

Hope this helps

apache2 logs ([notice] child pid nnnn exit signal Segmentation fault (11))

[John Harrold]

While on vacation, one of our servers more or less died when /var filled
up. This was a result of the error.log file for apache2 filling up with the
following messages.

[Sun Aug 22 06:25:32 2004] [notice] child pid 3881 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Sun Aug 22 06:25:32 2004] [notice] child pid 3880 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Sun Aug 22 06:25:33 2004] [notice] child pid 3894 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

I fixed it over the phone, but when I returned I found that two other
computers had the same huge log files. Fortunately they had larger /var
partitions, so it didn't cause any real problems. All of the computers in
question are runnin Debian/Sarge. Can anyone suggest a reason for this?

The version of Quanta in Woody (2.0) is so buggy that it is useless. It 
crashes continually in my experience. Hopefully it will be a lot more mature 
in Sarge because it does look promising.

Maybe you _need_ to compile a new kernel after all? 

With the 2.6.x kernel it's not complicated anymore.

most likely you also need to install alsa-base ( some tools like alsamixer
and to store the settings alsactl are also very helpfull.)
Other then the above error there is nothing else?

Re: Kernel Compile

[Sergio Basurto]

Why you must recompile the kernel?, the current dist
support almost any hardware!!
If you really need to do that:
You must compile the Kernel with the hardware of the
laptop, there is not need to include your desktop
hardware.

kernel-package in woody dist, can help you to achive
the .deb package easily.

I also recomend you that have a look to:
http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html

Is a very good reference.

I think that Microsoft is the key word here. Lol. Ok,

VMware.

You can try running:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 

and check your video card and resolution settings. You
might want to try some generic, conservative settings
and see what happens.

I seem to remember that the cupsys-bsd package was required to get
printing in OOo to work with cups. Does dpkg -l cupsys-bsd show it
installed? 

Once everything was installed properly, printing in OOo just worked for
me. No configuration required, other than selecting the printer I wanted
to use when the print dialog box came up.

Tux logo, Nvidia drivers, and framebuffer

I want to have either the Tux logo or a bootsplash screen at boot. I've
found a few pages that explain this, but each time I delve deeper I hit
roadblocks. I've been referred to kernel patches at www.bootsplash.de,
but I have no idea which package I need. 

I know I'm missing something here, but have yet to figure out what that
is.

I've got an Nvidia card, with drivers loaded, and running kernels 2.6.7
and 2.6.8 (switching between the two as needed due to ongoing cdrecord

I'm not particularly expert in this but I have ADSL on Woody.
None of the adsl configuration methods within Woody were at all relevant
because my adsl modem is not set up in bridge mode.

The only thing I had to do was to configure eth0 and then configure
my modem using it's web page.

So the modem itself is doing all of the adsl stuff, all Woody has to do is 
talk to the modem, which for me is a Web Excell.


Maybe there is something there that helps but I don't know your hardware.

You should get the little Tux logo on boot if you're using frambuffer
support.  If you have the kernel-source package installed, read the
files in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/

Make-Kpkg SMP

[Lance Hoffmeyer]

How do I configure make-kpkg (kernel-package) so
that MAKE using the -j3 switch?

The smp.txt says edit the Makefile but the line that the smp.txt
says to modify does not exist.

The kernel-package man does not really cover this.

Do I modify the kernel-pkg.conf?  If so, how?

[Bill Allombert]

Hello Debian users and developers,

If you have reported a bug against wmaker (WindowMaker) that is still
open, please check whether the bug still apply to the current version,
and in the negative, please tags the bug as fixed!

I make this call because there are several hundreds of bugs reported
against this package, but inspection let me expect a sizeable 
number is fixed already.

Thanks for your attention!

Like I said, I'm missing info. Like adding video= or vga= to the
menu.lst to tell grub I want to use framebuffer mode at boot. Google is
my friend. :)

I'm making progress. By adding video=vesa vga=0x317 I get a blank screen
up to the point that X starts. That's not a problem for now, because I
know I'm on the right track. I'm recompiling a kernel right now that has
vesa included, and not a module, as well as console framebuffer support.

Once I get that, *then* I can start playing with the bootsplash patch.

I'd also like to be able to allow more than 21 client connections.  If

This is a hardware problem with your scanner.  Debian is software.

I think you will be more likely to get an anser to your question from an

Just taking a guess as I've never tried it, but in
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6/Makefile on my computer, there is a line
that starts with "MAKEFLAGS +=". I suspect adding a -j3 at the end of
that line would do it.

WAP +Radius

[Gabriel Granger]

Hi all,
Has anyone tried to setup a WAP using Radius to authenticate users? I'm  
using FreeRadius and a Belkin F5D7130, my test machine is a Apple  
powerbook with airport extreme card.  When i try to connect to my WAP  
I'm telling that I'm using WEP-Enterprise and supplying the username /  
password and the WAP name

I'm running a DHCP server on my debian server, all I'm wanting todo is  
get the users authenticated from radius and then my linux box to assign  
the IP addresses.  I had this working with the standard WEP, as soon as  
I changed my belkin router to use Radius I get errors.

I really dont know enough about how all this works, but I've added a  
user into the "users" file

steve   Auth-Type := EAP, User-Password == "testing"
Service-Type = Framed-User,
Framed-Protocol = PPP,
Framed-IP-Address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,
Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.0,
Framed-Routing = Broadcast-Listen,
Framed-Filter-Id = "std.ppp",
Framed-MTU = 1500,
Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP
Is there some special config needed in radiusd.conf that needs to be  
added to EAP section? do I need to use EAP? I want to avoid  
certificates on server and client, I would ideally want to use simple  
user / password authentication if possible.  I thing the line where is  
getting caught out is.  I could be complete wrong (which is suspect)  
any advise would be great

I need to compile the kernel as i havnt been able to get the sound card 
working on my laptop.

The laptop is a omnibook 4150A, the B version is supported quite well  
from what i have seen on the internet, but i havnt had much luck with 
this laptop on anything other than mandrake, so i am assuming that if i 
recompile the kernel i can add in what ever mandrake used for my sound card.

from a few sites they say its a CS4282 but everything i have tried so 
far hasnt worked so i am hopping this compile will sort it :)

I wont include the desktop hardware i was just curious as it's using the 
desktop to compile so i thought it might be needed :)

Re: ADSL/pppoe configuration problem

[Jeremy T. Bouse]

I'm not sure exactly who your ADSL provider is but having gone
through a similar error situation with SBC Yahoo DSL service I'd suggest
checking with your providers tier 2 tech support that the line is
actually properly configured for PPPOE. In my case they had the line
configured to ignore the LCP connection request packets so my system was
failing to see their access concentrator. Once the tech corrected this
problem I could see the AC using pppoe-discover or pppoeconf without a
problem. 

Now for me actually authenticating became the issue after I
could see their AC as it seems their RedBack configuration was denying
my /28 subnet configuration being handed to it via RADIUS. As of this
writing I'm still not authenticated and it's been since the 20th that
they said this order was completed.

Regards,
Jeremy

Well, you can do all that in vim too ;) Don't call emacs or vim the

the blank screen means you dont have the proper frame buffer defined

i'd do the same tests ( same kernel ) on machines that you know worked
on other distro ( like suse-9.1 has splash by default ) so it should
work for deb's splash too
- not all mb and not all chipsets are "the same" :-)

yup...  and when you're done .. you can come play on my brain-dead mb too
with gazillion different chipset to see which works and which does not
support tux on boot or splash

Iptables help ..

[debi]

Hi,

I am using the following iptables rules for the NAT, but i also want to

the outgoing port 25 is still open

/sbin/iptables -F -t nat

--dport 25  
-j REJECT
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE

But the outgoing port 25 is still open, can some tell me whats wrong in

mysterious X lockups on Sarge

[ScruLoose]

Hi all,

For several weeks now, I've been having X lock up on me occasionally, 
and I'm a bit stumped as to where to start debugging it...

I'm running Sarge on a P4 3.2 HT, and my video card is a GeForce FX 
5200 using the nvidia binary driver.  I've had this problem on both a 
home-rolled 2.4.22 kernel and the Debian 2.6.7-SMP kernel-package.

Every couple of days or so X seems to die an abrupt death.  The display 
will freeze completely, keyboard input has no effect (including 
CTRL-ALT-F1 and CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE).  The system is still running, 
though: If XMMS is playing when the problem hits, the music keeps on 
going; and I can ssh in to the box no problem.  If I kill -9 the XDM and 
/usr/X11R6/bin/X processes then the screen goes black... but then doing 
/etc/init.d/xdm start just silently fails.  So I've been ssh-ing in just 
to reboot the box.

Now, I've had this happen while I was surfing the web, and while the 
screensaver was running, and sometimes after the monitor has gone to 
sleep (oh, and once in the middle of a game of armagetron).

A "tail" of XFree86.0.log shows a bunch of GetModeLine entries, but 
nothing that looks like error or panic or "ack! I'm dying!"...
I've done an 8-hr run of memtest86 with no complaints at all, the 
temperature seems to be happy, and loading the crap out of the system 
doesn't make it fail (I tried 5 hours of a kernel-compile loop, and 2 
hours of cpuburn with no problems).

So where do I start looking to figure out what's causing this and/or to 
fix it.


Thanks for any help

Kernel boot problem?

[Grant]

Hey,
I kinda have a problem,
I have compiled now 4 kernel's and the first two kernel's got stuck on 
this message at boot.

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(3,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)


The other two kernels i did get stuck on this.

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

The only difference in the two messages is the "unknown-block" section.
I used the old .config file so i would have what i needed for the new 
kernel and all i added was select a few sound card things.

Have i added something that i shouldnt have ? or something i have missed ?
I have checked the root= line in the grub config and it reads the same 
as the current kernel which is 2.6.7-1 and the one i am trying to 
compile is 2.6.8

Thanks in advance :)
Grant.

this means  on a cd- recordable you can  write it _once_ 

a rewrite-able CD-RW you will be able to rewrite it more then once, you
can delete what is on it and write again.

Sounds like you're making a kernel with no initrd and all the
filesystems are modules.  initrd is a pain in the butt, just compile
the filesystems you need at boot time right into the kernel.

Re: apache2 logs ([notice] child pid nnnn exit signal Segmentation fault (11))

[John Harrold]

Sometime in August Richard A Nelson assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| upgrade apache2 *and* any modules (ie apache2-mod-security)
|  to the latest levels and this should no longer be an issue

Ok, I'll do this. 

A question from someone rather new to Debian. Is there an email list
(similar to redhats errata) that sends out mail describing bugs: program
(e.g. apache) , effected releases (e.g. woody, sid, etc.), solutions (e.g.
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade).

I've subscribed to debian security (debian-security-announce), but I didn't
receive anything concerning this -- which makes sense since it's not really
a security issue.

Thanks for your patience.

If you can get KDE to logout on a timer (forinstance with FakeClick on
the menu, if it works), then set it up to logout soon and hit
Ctrl-Alt-F1.

The kernel tries to be noisy when it crashes, but (dunno if this is
still true in the Age of Framebuffer Consoles) cannot talk while X is in
the foreground...

[Fwd: Re: HTML editor. What to use?]

[Joris Huizer]

 --- Begin Message ---
Slightly off-topic, but I thought everyone might find this useful as I learned
it only a few days ago.

I always admired emacs for it's ability to run a shell within a frame of the
program.  It's very useful for programming, is wonderful for web development as
well since you can run lynx or another text-browser to test things as you go. 
However, I am one of those who prefer vim, and vim does not have this ability
built in.

I discovered a program called SCREEN, which is available in all three levels of
the debian release (i use sarge).  Screen allows you to run multiple shells at
the same time, split their windows, etc.  So I now start screen, split the
window, and run vim in one of the two frames.  Using this method vim has the
same capability as emacs to run a shell and edit files at the same time.

Back on topic...

I've often considered a nice gui editor for webdesign, but each time i start to
dabble in one I quickly return to vim or emacs.  The gui's such as quanta or
bluefish indeed have nice completion features, forms to insert code, etc. 
However, they're always missing things I need which forces me to go back and
edit the code anyway.  I prefer having the ability to code whatever I want,
follow my own methods and practices, etc.  I always feel too constrained using
a gui editor.

Also, if you're used to shortcut keys for movement (vim and emacs are both
spectacular in this area), it's a pain to be without them.  Another thing to
consider, will you be editing this page remotely?  It's much easier to log into
a machine remotely and edit with vim/emacs than it is with a gui editor.  Vim
and emacs are also commonly installed on most 'nix machines, whereas the gui's
are not.  Learning vim or emacs gives you the ability to sit down at almost any
'nix and get work done.

Lots of things to consider.  My dream program of course would be an html gui
such as quanta or bluefish wrapped around the vim editor.  Then all would be
right in the world ;)

Cheers,
Ben

Filtering for NAT is done on the FORWARD chain. The only reason you
appear to be blocking incoming traffic on 25 is that the port isn't
being forwarded through in the first place. 

You don't need to explicitly block incoming traffic to the LAN because
it only allows traffic for ports specifically setup to forward through
into the LAN.

Do you get the same problem with the generic VESA drivers? (no modules
in the kernel, just Driver "vesa" - works for my SiS 315 even though
they say it's unsupported)

Try deleting the pidfile before restarting xdm. (/var/run/xdm.pid)

FWIW David, I don't have a problem when logging out but have had the
system crash on me after being left on suspend for a long time.  Some
times it is with the screensaver locked and soemtimes with just a blank
screen.  I'm pretty sure it's a KDE3.3 issue.  I'm on ppc BTW.

Clive

i have the same question. ive gotten responses on debian-user before
that reference a possible solution by using the scsitools package or the
hotplug package. ive never further explored these options, but it would
be nice to be able to plug in more than one usb device without having to
edit /etc/fstab.

kernel-package is the package that contains make-kpkg which will make a .deb
file containing the kernel, associated modules, and the scripts to
modify lilo.conf or grub.conf.

check out newbiedoc.sourceforge.net for a good tutorial on how it works.

tasksel problem with Sarge netinstall RC1

[Magnus Ekhall]

Hi,
I tried to install Sarge from a netinstall CD, but I run into trouble when 
I get to tasksel.

There is no option to select "Desktop environment" or "x server".
There are only options to install web server, file server and so on.
I'm using ftp.se.debian.org and security.debian.org as my sources...
What's the problem here?
Thanks,
Magnus

Sparc station 10 install X not working

[dave]

hi
I am unsuccessfully trying to get my Sparc station 10 to run the X 
server.  The error i get is

#X
(WW) SUNCG3: No matching Device section for instance (BusID 
SBUS:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],e000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],e0001000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0) found
(EE) No devices detected.

the device is
ok > show-devs

/[EMAIL PROTECTED],e000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],e0001000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0

my questions are -
Is the suncg3 the appropriate driver for this frame buffer?
What should the BusID read?
	BusID	"SBUS:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],e000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],e0001000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0"  ?
Could this be the mouse?
	What mouse configuration could I use?
	I am using a sun keyboard with the mouse attached to the keyboard.
If you have this configuration could you send me your XF86Config-4?
This is a fresh install of the testing track with the new installer 
bata 4 netinst CD Image.  It did not detect it in the install nor was I 
able to put in SBUS when it asked for my device running 
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86.  Should I file a Install report or is 
this equipment not supported anymore?  If I need to send an Install 
report can someone guide me to the guide?

Have tried both xserver-xfree86 and xserver-xfree86-dbg.
I want to run the X server like this -
X -query 
junk

compile time on 2.6.8

[Lance Hoffmeyer]

How long is it taking people who compile the
2.6.8 kernel?  It is taking about 30-40 minutes
on my dual AMD MP2100??  And I am compiling from 
a Deb Sarge kernel-image 2.6.8-1-K7-smp?? 
Doesn't seem right. Seems like I used to compile 
in 5 minutes or less??

Compiling on Debian Sarge.

All my compiles of 2.6.7 or 2.6.8 take about 35 minutes on my P4 2.6

i just installed debian (via a knoppix cd) on an r40.  it's
going rather well, as my research had led me to expect.

working highlights: 3d, speedstep, wireless, ethernet, acpi.

i have my random notes at
http://www.hjsoft.com/blog/link/Linux_on_ThinkPad_R40_2897-B4U

there are pages with much better organization out there, though.

First general purpose unmoderated newsgroup for Debian

[Madhusudan Singh]

alt.os.linux.debian

Please help in propagating this newsgroup to your favorite news server by
requesting them to carry it.

Let us get it started.

--

CHARTER:
For questions and answers relating to the installation and use of different
flavors of Debian GNU Linux (stable, testing, unstable and other derivant
distributions). The newsgroup will be unmoderated.

JUSTIFICATION:
Debian GNU Linux is one of the most popular Linux distributions
(consistently ranked in the top 5-6 distros -
http://www.distrowatch.org/stats.php?section=popularity ). Its user base
probably numbers in millions worldwide. The largest number of derivant
Linux distributions are based on Debian (97 -
http://www.distrowatch.org/stats.php?section=independence ). A survey of
available Debian newsgroups on groups.google.com reveals that there are no
unmoderated newsgroups available specifically for Debian GNU Linux. The
newsgroups in the linux.debian.* hierarchy are all moderated and are
linked to mailing lists via a mail to news gateway, and hence require a
valid email address for users to even post their queries. Though these
lists have heavy traffic, a large number of Debian related posts end up on
the comp.os.linux.* hierarchy every day. These newsgroups (under comp) are
not specifically geared towards Debian and people often get incomplete
advice for their problems.Over the past one year, the number of users
using Debian and derivant distributions like Knoppix has steadily risen
partially due to its highly evolved package management system and the
discontinuation of the personal version of Red Hat Linux. Thus, creation
of this newsgroup would at once be timely and extremely well received.

In this age of spammers harvesting email addresses from newsgroups and
mailing lists (such as linux.debian.*), with spam rising to above 60 % of
total email traffic (http://www.brightmail.com/spamstats.html), ability
to use spam.invalid style addresses in unmoderated genuine newsgroups can
help in alleviating this problem.
