Gnome3 and Wheezy.

2012-11-14 Thread GEOFF BAGLEY
I have been looking forward to the update of my favourite operating system Debian from squeeze to wheezy. I thought it would be interesting to update one of my machines ( an amd64 bit ASUS), and I have just spent two days trying to use the new desktop Gnome3. I have been SO disappointed that a

Dear Michael. I thought of another approach. Could I get the HPLaserJetP1102w to work as a network printer ? If the answer is yes, would the various printers connected to the network still face the same problem, or do they just see the network ? I tried the HP we site, and it eventually said

I understand that Knoppix is based on Debian GNU/Linux. Will Knoppix allow apt-get, aptitude, and synaptic to be used ? Can Knoppix "import" packages from a Debian Distro ? TIA Geoff. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PR
