I know this is something I have seen somewhere (and it is probably something
right in front of my eyes). But I have just setup a cable modem that uses

Debian has always lacked an explanation of what the various users and
groups are for. Such a document is useful for sysadmins who must
determine the correct way to use various users and groups. It's useful

Hi all..
I'm thinking of setting up a small mailing list at work
Any suggestions to which one works best with Debian?
I guess I could just ask which package this mailing list
