You might run a script from init which check the output from lspci, and adjust your config files accrodingly. Something like: if [ lspci | grep -q 'VGA.*Diamond' ] ; then cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.diamond /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 else cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.intel /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 fi and something similar with the ethernet.

Apache and cgi's on user-dir...
Hi, We experience a problem with the apache webserver on a server running Debian woody, plain i386 hardware. We have the following setting: UserDir www_docs and ExecCGI is enabled for these directories in a suitable tag. Plain html, shtml, php and so on works just as expected. The problem is with cgi-scripts, which will not execute. A strace on the apache-process reviewd that the server still tries to access public_html directory to locate the cgi-script, instead of www_docs as specified. The problem is then fixable by symlinking public_html to www_docs in the users homedirectory. But since we serve some hundred users, this is not an option. So, have anyone else experienced this problem, and is there a fix somewhere? Or is this simply a bug in the debian-make of apache? mvh, -- [simula.research laboratory] Åsmund Ødegård Scientific Programmer phone: 67828291 / 90069915 http://www.simula.no/ PGP: http://www.simula.no/~aasmundo/data/mandus.asc -- auto sig -- NUM 18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This question is kind of religious! There are some differences between the distributions of course, and Debian is technically superior to all of them... It is also very easy to keep up to date. Regarding ME, you can't actually compare - then you compare apples and oranges, which not makes much sense. The systems are to different. Windows is a system for people who use the computer as a toy - playing games, watching movies and so on, while Linux is a system for people who both want to do real work and have fun. > Tack på förhand! you're welcome! > > Jonas Arlid > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you really want to use GNOME, just skip gnome when you install debian, then add 'deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main' to your /etc/apt/sources.list, then apt-get update and apt-get install task-gnome-desktop.
