I'm sure that I might be missing something obvious here, but after a few
hours I still haven't figured it out. I'm writing a script to detect
whether xscreensaver is running and activate it if it is. If not, it
launches the daemon first and then activates. From the command line, the

You can get the MD5 sums for the current packages by checking
Packages.gz for the appropriate distribution. This is relatively
reliable for Woody and Potato, but

GnomeMeeting should be what you're looking for here. It's not 100%

I used to have a full-blown Windows network set up at home with 5 PCs.
As I started converting them to Linux I would set up Samba on each
machine so they could still talk with the other Windows machines. At

My desktop system is used by 3 users, each having a few thousand files
in their home directory. Since we primarily have the same interests,
there are a LOT of duplicates to be found. Earlier I found an mpeg movie
that all three of us had that was 120 MB. That's 240 MB of wasted space.

I've been using the NT bootloader for as long as I've been using Debian

switched to using Debian 364 days a year, this is no longer working for

I'm trying to set up Debian on a friend's computer since he's finally
decided to give up the evil M$ empire. He's got a GeForce 2 MX200 hooked
up to a Gateway FPD1500 flat-screen. (TFT) I compiled 2.4.17 for him and
