Hi,
When I installed Debian I put everything in one partition. Now I'm
wondering what I was thinking. / is ext4 for mated on a drive with
eufi partition table, no raid or lvm. My thought is if I can shrink
that and create a new partition I can copy over /home and then mount
it as /home.
I am p

Hi,
I installed Jessie on a new computer about 2 months ago. I needed
Jessie to support my network interface. Since then I noticed that I

Hi,
I've built a new machine and installed 64bit Debian testing on it. I
also installed MythTV from the deb-multimedia repository. My old
computer has been used for MythTV (mostly recording/playback over the
air TV) for years, and I would like to have the new hardware take over
the job soon. Bu

I got it in mind to stop downloading the Nvidia binary driver and
installing it myself and switch to using the version available as a

I recently installed Jessie on a new computer. Now that I have the
system up and running I decided that I would like to have a different
hostname than the rather unimaginative 'localhost-01' I picked during
install. I used the "mate-network-admin" utility to change it, and
checked /etc/hostname

Hi Kailash,
I checked out the netbootcd site, and
I have a new computer that needs (AFAIK) the kernel version 3.10 or
better to support my ethernet (Qualcomm Atheros AR8171). I was hoping
I could do this with a small download, like the net insttall ISO, but
so far I haven't been able to find one. Are by only choices to

I hope to be installing Debian in a new computer in about a week or
so. It will have a Haswell processor and I hope to be able to get by
with the built in video. But, if it doesn't work well I have an
Nvidia 8600GT card I can take from my old system.
But, I really don't know what's involved in s

I know I shouldn't mess with things, I really don't know what i'm

Hi,
I believe it is sometimes suggested that if you want to know about how
well some hardware will work with Linux in general, or Debian
specifically, to post the specific hardware here and ask. With that
in mind I am planning on buying the motherboard ASRock H87M-ITX and
would like to know how w

Hi,
I've been shopping around for new hardware to build a new desktop
computer for myself. This would be both a MythTV frontend/backend, as
well as for general purpose computing (which for me means mostly
internet browsing and email, but occasionally I use LibreOffice, view

I did a search for Debian and Haswell (plus a couple of related
searches) and found several helpful things. One was several posts on
Phoronx (including
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM5MzU) that
suggest support is pretty good. I have found several other posts on
some Forums

Thanks Karl - I was thinking it would 'just work', but wanted to make
sure. And leaving Windows out of the mix probably doesn't hurt
either.

Hi,
I have been a Debian user for I'd guess 7 or 8 years now. I would
like to thank all of you that helped create a system that is so
useful. Despite using it for so long I am far from a power users, I
basically rely on the fact that it works well (or if it doesn't it
will soon :-)).
