A friend of mine has donated a logo to the Debian project for
consideration. It's sketchy, but we think the idea has some potential.
Only thing is, where do we send it?
If anyone's interested, there's a copy at

Thanks,

Not all files will be listed in the Contents and related files. Some are
created during package configuration, some later. Almost all the files
you listed are normal. However, I'd check these:

Not sure if this should be here. Run a `file /usr/lib/texmf/ini/core'.

I'm unfamiliar with filter and elm, so this may be on the wrong track.
Anyhow, I had a similar problem trying to use two mail user agents
simultaneously (on a Sun, as it happens). The first program had placed a

If you like, I'll email you a script to run through a file containing
filenames and permissions as set on my system and set the permissions
similarly on yours. This would cure most of your files. My installation
is quite new and I've made no radical permission changes, so it's safe
enough, I think.

On a similar note, if you have the modelines option set for vi (in

as vi or ex commands. Try the following for some fun:

Do you disagree? Aren't you simply saying that you'd go down the 'pared
down kernel route'? (Note: when I say pared down, I don't preclude the
possibility of using modules.)

Absolutely right. Don't go for one of these cards. I spent the best part

to a VGA configuration, the server ran unusably slowly (don't know why).

What you need here is to set the setuid bit. Run this command as root:

Then when you run ls filename you should see something like:

Quite true, but by all accounts crackers dislike the name. You won't
succeed without a majority adopting the new term, and I'm afraid that
involves the cooperation of the culprits themselves. Otherwise, I'm sure
this long-running debate would have concluded long ago.

It may take a while in general, but poor maintenance and naive password

This is an interesting issue. You might use similar justification for
leaving all but the essentials out of the distributed kernel. This would
encourage users to learn how to recompile the kernel, and demonstrate in
doing so that it's surprisingly simple.
On the other hand, new users might think,
