[Q] PCI card with serial ports giving trouble

Re: Turn Debian into a Desktop-System what to do

Hi, I assume you desktop system is not powered on 24 h per day. So you possibly want to install anacron and logrotate. anacron will make sure that a daily job is run daily --- even if you power up only for an hour a day. logrotate will backup and compress your logfiles and remove the old ones

Buenas! What I used to do while running "stable" plus some packages from "testing" was this: 1. I installed and _use_ aptitude as frontend. This makes it simpler to follow dependencies. 2. In aptitude, I select Options > Dependency Handling and change "Install suggested/recommended packa
