Hi,
is there a Debian package with software that helps in creating
(thumbnail) images *of* (not for) web pages? Like something that instead
of displaying a web page on screen as a web browser does creates an
image file that can be saved to disk (and then be resized to a
thumbnail)?

Hi all,
I've been trying to install Debian on my OpenMoko Neo Freerunner. There's a
neat script for doing this, and it resides on pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org.
Thing is, it's down.
How can I notify the server owner / maintainer? I have no idea who it might

Hi,
Running squeeze, when I want a source package, I do apt-get source
, which works well enough.
However, I'm really a pointy-clicky type, and would prefer to use
synaptic for this.
Much googling on the subject suggests that it might not be possible to
do that. Anyone know whether that's
