Hi,
we went with a VM, however it turned out the network connection is a
bottleneck - as it seems, distcc can only be used properly in a LAN, not
through the internet.

Hi list,
I am trying to use a friend's machine as distcc daemon, since it has much more
CPU power than my poor laptop. However distcc fails to compile stuff on his
machine, which I assume is because I am using Debian testing and GCC 4.6, and
he is on Debian stable and GCC 4.4

can't anybody help? I'd really like to report this as bug against upower or

caused.

Hi list,
since upgrading from Kubuntu (10.10) to Debian testing, I am noticing that a
context-menu, directly after right-clicking, contains pixel garbage that is
then overdrawn with the actual content. I often recognize the garbage as
content from some window. This also applies to other menus,

Editing xorg.conf requires an X-server restart after each setup change, which
is ridiculous. In the end,
