PS.
Hi,
My system cannot go into kdm after I upgraded from 'stable' to 'testing'. The
documents in '/usr/share/doc' do not offer any help. Seem to be out-of-date.
After what seems like ages following login, gnome screen appears. Windows can
be opened but not sized or moved about.
Help!

Hello (and happy holidays!),
I had a question about setting up dns caching on my laptop running
sarge. I'm sure this has been discussed before but googling hasn't
turned up any clear explanations. I've RTFM'd and was confused by the
myriad of options. Thus, I'd be grateful for any advice.

You can't run fvwm from the Linux console, you have to start X first,

First, just like you had a "first", I've been using Linux since 1995.
I view/listen all kinds of multimedia, but don't expect to get

more resource friendly than Windows, movies still require at least
