Hey people. I upgraded to XFree86 4.0.2, and now my desktop looks
horrible. The fonts are all bitmapped and grainy, and too large. I've crawled
through the settings, read up on fonts from the XFree86 site, and I can't see
anything wrong. Did anyone fight with this when they installed it?

Dear lists,
I think I have a pretty good handle on my printer, buu. the
standard printcap file's text will only print one laddered line on a
page. So I looked at FreeBSD's instructions, but they are not quite the
same. It is an older HPLaserJetSeries 2. The original printcap was:
I'm new to Debian, and I have a question about apt-get and why some
files are missing from its listing.
Recently, I needed to use unzip, but it wasn't installed on my system.
So I tried 'apt-get install unzip', but it said the package was listed
in the database but was empty/obsolete/or whatever.
StarOffice saves in Word format for me just fine. Of course, I only use simple
documents.

Hi,
I think that the major security holes are actually in the programs that you
run, and have very little to do with the kernel itself.
Certainly I use a 2.4.1 kernel which gives me access to the wonderful new

First I moved my server to a new co-lo facility, and changed the ip address.
Then, because I wanted to install webmail, I upgraded to woody, which I have
done on my laptop with minor problems. When I did the apt-get dist-upgrade, it
