Well, you could always subscribe to debian-security and
debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org, if you haven't already. Just
lurking on those lists will keep you up to date on current security
trends. The people there are generally pretty good about answering
on-topic questions as well.

This command will remove all files ending in ".exe" from the entire
filesystem. Is there some sort of naming convention used for those
exe files? If so, come up with a regex that will match all (or at
least most) of those files without matching anything you want to keep.

You may want to try gcj and kaffe. They are alternative Java tools
(gcj is a compiler, kaffe is a vm).
I haven't used the jdk in linux, but I did use gcj and kaffe with a
small threading demo.

Close any programs you don't want to run at startup. Open any you do
want to run at startup. Then Foot -> Settings -> Session -> Save
Session (or something like that).
This will work for all session aware programs (gnomecc is one of
them).

If any binary files can be exec as suid, then I would recommend
python. It will have more of the feel of a script with its high level
view of things.

Hi!
each time I boot my potato+helix_gnome box, the gnome control center
shows up. I surfed all the menus in order to disable this behavior, but
I didn't find anything. Could someone be so kind to tell me how disable it
at startup?
Thanks in advance!

Dear debianers
I am using mutt as my MTA. When I move between different mailboxes mutt
asks me the following question:
move read messages to /home/chiappa/mbox? ([n]/y):
I don't want to move anything because procmail takes care of the internal
distribution of emails. How can I disable this ann

I'm interested in finding a serial terminal software package for Debian
(such as "tip" on Solaris). Does any one know if there is a Debian package
that would fit my needs (direct connect to the serial port, dumb terminal
emulation) or do I need to compile up something myself?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi,
you can always go to the command line using ctrl+alt+F1-F6
(left ctrl and alt). You can always exit your X session with
ctrl+alt+backspace.
To stop X from starting automatically for always, you can do :
apt-get remove xdm (or wdm).
Just temporarily, I should say, make the startup scripts une
