Of course. But what of it? The real question is whether it matters or
not. As I mentioned in another post,
I've often seen this touted as a good security measure and I've
always wondered why. I can think of a few possibilities, but I
really don't know. Could someone please explain it to me?

Hi,
Running a multiseat setup is easy with Sid/Etch because it only involves
plugging in the hardware (more than 1 videocard/monitor/mouse/keyboard)
and configuring xorg.conf + gdm.conf (both attached). It still makes
economic sense because the cost of the sum of those 4 things is still
less

Hi,
I can run smartctl on a SATA disk:
smartctl -d ata -A -v 194,unknown /dev/sda
but when I run it on a USB disk:
smartctl -d ata -A -v 194,unknown /dev/sdb
I get:
Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)
But it *is* an ATA disk.
Anybody?

During configuration of another machine running Etch, I discovered
that .bash_profile appears to be ignored when logging into X.
Specifically, the problem is that the "~/bin" directory does not

$ echo $PATH

My friend encrypted a usb pen drive (ScanDisk) using windows and gave me..
he told the password to me.
That drive has got some inbuilt software for encryption.

Hello all.
I'm brand new to Debian. I have some experience with package installtion
