Hi all,
I am considering buying a Lenovo Thinkpad X230, and I am wondering if
anyone on this list has advice to share about the hardware.
It looks like most, but not all, of the standard hardware is supported
under Wheezy. Specifically, the microphone and (some) hotkeys don't
seem to work:

Hi list,
I've recently (re-)decided to make an effort to use PGP, and to convince
others to use it too. (My effort to do so:
http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rwl/encryption.html, linked from my
.signature. Comments welcome.) But I've run into a couple of problems
fairly quickly. If you use PGP regula

Ok, here's where I'm at:

I upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze this past weekend. Since then, I
haven't been able to successfully resume after a suspend to disk, which
had been working fine in Lenny (with Linux 2.6.26). Basically, on boot,

Hi all,
I've just installed Squeeze on a Macbook (2,1) and I'm wondering how I
can get X to display at the native 1280x800 resolution. I've searched
the Web and Debian list archives, but nothing seems to turn up
quite the information I need.
I am using stumpwm, and not a desktop environment that

Looks like VirtualBox OSE may be the way for me to go for now, though
I may also try my hand at QEMU. I found another lisp-based OS I might
