Debian is Universal OS and there is no reason for it not to support touchscreens as best as it can. For example Gimp and Inkscape have very great touch & pressure sensitive brushes. Debian is suitable for anyone to use even haphazardously, and reinstalling back to something else is fine.

Re: adduser Pre-Depends for qemu-system-common
I'm not an admin but I'm interested in ADDUSER breakage, if any.
Could you side-band me (reply to sender please) why adduser may have
any (new) dependancy problems with adduser ? Obviously hacks that
break adduser imply breakage to other softwares in or not in debian,
which "supposedly against policy" (as if they follow that anymore).
There are so many hacks and additions to basic standards from dvd
(series of image: now gone wild with hw incompatibility and changes)
to user permissions bits (and what format) to just adding a user: it's
crazy anything old OR new even works :) Why can't they build on
things instead of break them - like they more or less used to do ?
For example I have a nice install time script that imports old
password and group to be new password and group (it makes all changes
needed, ie to filesystem too) so that new distribution has no problems
in it's expectations while installing. adduser is employed somewhere
within for obvious reasons.
Thank you,
John Hendrickson

I don't know if there is a better way in this particular case but I do

previous packages) cause issues for cross-arch rootfs generation,
where the system has to be booted before preinsts can be run. [...]
Making sure that the user/group is _also_ created in the postinst if
it's not already been done would make everything work nicely from my
POV. Avoiding doing such things in preinsts at all is good if possible. .
Perhaps a discussion of this issue would be welcome in the policy

objcopy vs absolute addresses
Hi, all.
While trying to build GRUB on illumos [*-pc-solaris2.11], I've found that
for different absolute addresses (-Wl,-Ttext -Wl,) objcopy -O binary
produces different objects files, but it is expected to be the same.
Test script see at the bottom.
I've checked it with binutils 2.22 on Debian and on Gentoo with
different compilers.
Debian's binutils have this problem, Gentoo:

touchscreen support in Debian?
Hi, I recently purchased an Acer S7, having both a keyboard and a touch screen. It is currently running Windows 8. Any chances of running Debian GNU/Linux on that box? I've heard rumours that Ubuntu supports this hardware, is that true? Thanks :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If it stays this way, I should think documenting it in my "Debian Reference" section. Any idea?
