I have a similar setup, with a older Mandrake system that I have turned into
a fileserver, and my new debian system that I use as a workstation.
The server has a minimal amount of diskspace allocated for /, /boot, /usr,
/var, /tmp, and a large /home partition.
The /home partition is shared via

I am wondering if anyone could recommend a solution for using Quicken on my
debian woody system. Quicken is essentially the ONLY windows application that

As far as I can tell, wine does not yet support Qu

I am having two problems with bash login scripts, which I cannot seem to sort
out. Probably something simple, but I'm missing it.

output of mkisofs onto cdrecord directly:
mkisofs | cdrecord
instead. Since I have a bunch of "standard" mkisofs aliases that I use for
backing up various chunks of data, my mkisofs command rarely fail so I won't

I have come across an interesting ( :confused: ) and difficult problem with

I would appreciate input as to what video card to get for a new system I am

My requirements: i don't game, so superfast 3d support isn't needed, but I do
watch an occasional movie, and want good support for 2d graphics. I don't
want to break the bank on this purchase either,
