Is there a drawback when installing an amd64 kernel ? 32 bits is likely to play more video codecs than 64 bits, by virtue of the w64codecs package lacking a bit. And to the best of my knowledge just because you can run 32 bits binaries on a 64 bits kernel doesn't mean w32codecs will actually work. I keep an older 32 bits system around just because of that. http://debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/non-free/binary-amd64/package/w64codecs.php http://debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/package/w32codecs.php Of course this isn't debian's fault, but the fault those companies which create closed and proprietary software.

I think a 2800 Sempron will have no trouble serving files, even to 200 people. Unless they all simultaneously started copying 10+ GB of data around on the server itself. But in my experience typical file server activity is sporadic with occasional bursts. Besides the bottleneck with a file server normally is not CPU performance but network performance. You'd likely saturate the network bandwidth before you'd ever hog the CPU.

The code of conduct clearly states the following: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct Do not quote messages that were sent to you by other people in private mail, unless agreed beforehand. I did not agree beforehand for you to quote my message. It would be kind of you to apologise. It is generally considered bad nettiquette to send private emails to a mailing list and this list does not appear to be an exception. In addition when replying the person's private email is copied in the To: not the list's address. In my experience this generally means a conscious decision was made to encourage replies to go to the individual instead of the list.

Re: Defending yourself
Tom Furie wrote: Ahem, don't you mean Jeroen? Sorry, couldn't resist. Yeah me, thanks. :-) Thing is, normally I see little to no spam from a mailing list. That's because they're managed in such a way spam hasn't got a chance of getting through. The other thing is, it's not so much about me as an individual filtering the spam. It's that since the spam was sent to the list the damage already has been done and all the subscribers got it, for example that's a 100 or 1000 times more bandwidth wasted than if it was sent to me personally. That's one of the reasons why careful and proper abuse management and prevention is rather important especially for mailing lists. Spam sent to mailing lists shouldn't be filtered at the receiving side, the subscriber, but at the sending side, the mailing list software. Hence my original question if this list was forgotten by its maintainer(s). I apologise for furthering the spammer's thread. I'd be greatly indebted if someone could answer the original question I posted about gnome stock items, or point me in the right direction.

This is not a criticism by the way. Neither did I try critisise this list and I apologise if it looked that way. I just wondered if the list had been neglected in some way. I think that was valid considering the volume of spam.

Upgrade to squeeze some menu stock items disappeared
After I upgraded from lenny to squeeze applets as well as the default gnome menus in the panel don't show (some) stock items anymore. I am talking about things suchs as http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/gtk-Stock-Items.html#GTK-STOCK-REFRESH:CAPS This actually also appears to happen with a vanilla squeeze install. I have been unable to find much information as to why this happens neither do I know exactly which package is at fault so I haven't filed a bug about it. I have tried various things such as using different icon themes and change the appearance preferences, even changing the source code of an applet I wrote myself. Neither helps much or at all, but I am able to get an icon in the lock to panel menu item with some appearance/icon theme configurations. Which seems a bit odd since I normally never see an icon for that particular menu item. Any ideas on how I can fix this or where can I find more information? Is this a problem with upstream gnome?
