I wish I could get more information before throwing in my two cents, but here goes: I tend to agree with most of the comments here. I like working with Debian and think that the package managmenent tool is the best of the distributions that I've worked with. I also like the fact that as things now

Samba and VMWare

I am using VMWare (which rocks!) to run a Win98 virtual partition in Debian. The problem I am having is that Samba is not working correctly, and I think VMWare is the culprit but I can't find what needs to be changed/removed. In my win98 virtual machine, I can see my linux box and the rest of my

XF86 and mouse (and maybe other things)

I have played around at getting Linux up and running, and so far seem to have things doing reasonably well, at least at the command line. I'm now trying to set up XFree86, and am having problems with the configuration. It cannot detect my mouse (I have a Glidepoint) at all, which may explain the

sound problems

After installing helix-gnome onto potato I realized that everything freezes whenever I play mp3s. After deactivating soundeffects for sawfish(probably using libesd) that did not happen any more. Until now, I didn't try gnome-audio.deb. Anybody had that problem before? What could it be?

Exim and changing the outgoing FROM: domain

I've just installed Exim on a Potato system, and would like to have outgoing mail appear to be from [EMAIL PROTECTED] regardless of the machine's actual domain. Under Sendmail I could do this with the MASQUERADE_AS function. Is there a similar method to do this on Exim, and if so how is it set
