Re: What is going on in debian-user?
The reason I don't do that, and trust me, I didn't see that much of it, is: (A)I am not advanced at the use of Linux (although I could call muyself a geek) (B)I need something that can talk to me effectively, and guess what guys: Linux sort of loses that bet for e-mail.

Re: What is going on in debian-user?
You seem to think that it is just the debian-user list that is being spammed. I personally am recieving a great deal of spam, as well, and it is getting passed my filters as well. They have figured out a new way of doing it, and this will die down some time soon. Just deal with it for now.

Most of it is already marked SPAM in subject by my provider's filter and therefore gets deleted by my personal filter (and shortly noted in my mailfilter.log). So do all the protesting mails with 'spam' in their subject line, which seem to be quite a lot. Others are found in the junk folder of Icedove. But there are still too many coming through (even Nigeria connection and Lottery mails!) On Jan 2 I protested against spam with the subject 'Pls check the new site'. After that, some big-mouth thought himself entitled to instruct me about what anyhow everybody knows: that I only receive what the spamfilters let through. Well, in the meantime it seems that every spam is let through by the debian-user filters. H. Vogelsberger -- To ?!?avoid spam?!? this address accepts only mails 'To:' subscribed lists.

Blind Debian Potential User
Hello Debian Users, My name is Shane. I am new to the list. I am trying to install Debian on an older laptop of mine so that I can use it for an Asterisk box. I run a couple of radioshows, and need to take calls. Anyway, I am questing a way to install Debian with Speech. I do not have a hardware synthesizer. I want a way of (A) Being able to install debian with speech (B) Having speech to use in the shell. I don't want to use a graphical interface once it is installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

gcc setup problem
Hi,
I am very new to C programming. I have recently installed Debian 1.3.1 including
the following C development tools -
gcc 2.7.2.1-9
libc55.4.33-6
cpp 2.7.2.1-9
binutils 2.7.0.9-3
libc5-dev5.4.33-6
libg++27 2.7.2.1-8
According to dselect, they are all installed correctly. When I try to compile
a 'Hello, World' program, I get the following error -
$ gcc hello.c
hello.c:1: iostream.h: No such file or directory
I have searched my whole hard-disk, and there is no file called iostream.h
However, I did find lots of other commonly used header files, such as
usr/include/asm/string.h
usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/include/limits.h
Can anyone see what's gone wrong? Here is the program I am trying to compile -
$ cat hello.c
#include iostream.h
// This program prints Hello, World.
main ()
{
cout Hello, World.\n;
return 0;
}
Thanks in advance
-Shane D. McAndrew

The headers of the mail messages not displayed for some reason which I find a bit annoying but I can live with it. The next messages, marked with a P produce the following error when opened- Press any key to see message: e, and can't access the PGP keyring ...so then I go ahead and press a key, and the message source is displayed. Yes, it does sound like a configuration problem, but can someone tell me why about 50% of the debian-user-digests are marked M and the rest are P and sometimes S? I can't see any pattern, I would expect them to be all one or the other. Thanks in advance -Shane D.
