Unfortunately, my experience is somewhat different -- I've had a Quantum

Right now, my personal system has a Micropolis Stinger (5400rpm 4.3GB,
Ultra SCSI), and hasn't had any problems. The drive is a bit noisy, but
seems to be very solid. I've never had any real problems with Quantum drives,
but I can say to stay away from any form of Conner/Seagate/Western Digital

First, in your .profile or .login or whatever assure that your bin is
first.
For a .profile with sh or bash or ksh ...

We would like a SCSI 4GB hard disk to connect to our PC running Debian

We want reliability first. Then cost second.

I can't compile qpopper because it asks a library called *lshadow*. With
this, qpopper could recognize shadow passwords (and that's what I want).
The debian compiled qpopper can do this, so they have this lib.
Where do I find this lib?
Is this lib in some package that I can install?
Please, he

One last quick question about adding sound support to Debian. How does one

Hello,
Since I upgraded my Debian 1.2 system to Debian 1.3.1 I get the following

Apart from that, everything seems just fine, and /proc/modules exists (I
can use cat to read its contents after the boot has completed).

If you need midi and other stuff (like soundfontbanks),
you also need to install the diverse awe-* packages.
They provide kernel modules for awe sound support. They work just fine, but
I've had problems applying the patch. If you experience any problems, just
mail me, I've gone through this.
