Hi,
Thanks you for your interesting review of apt pinning and their security
implications. I think the real mith is "novice user can *upgrade*
system to the *latest* unstable distribution by apt-get."
I saw many unexperienced users try to *upgrade* to the unstable and

Change your /etc/profile like that:

else
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
PS1='# '
else
PS1='$ '

and your user .bashrc would be executed on login.
Simple question: I've got a simple little

should I put this script in the boot process?

will give you info about installed pci devices.

I have Galeon from sid (although I've tried the one in woody which shows
the same thing), and I would like to change the main vertical scrollbar
to be something other than the default one it installs on Debian. The
Galeon scrollbar which is in the FreeBSD / Slackware builds of Galeon is
what I'd li

I just found this book for almost nothing at a local book discount shop:
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Unleashed by Mario Camou and Aaron Von Cowenberghe
Has anyone read or used this book? Several years ago I bought a sister book

There seemed to be a few problems, such as menus in KDE (I would think this
would be a problem in Gnome, too).

/etc/motd doesn't really have anything to do with the boot process. It
is displayed to all users when they log in. You could change your script
to just echo the top 3 things and call the script from ~/.bash_profile
instead. That way only you see the top 3 things on your to-do list, not
everyone
