Can anybody give me a quick rundown on the process, or point me to docs that
offer a more complete description, of how to go about
creating a new font?
I'm interesting in developing a couple of custom fonts for a theme I'm
creating, but have absolutely no idea how!
Thanks!

I want a program to start automatically each time I login into my
account. In which initializing file should I write the name of the
program?
You could add the command to your .bashrc file, it will be executed
after you login.
Might be better to add it to his .bash_profile, unless he's
No. chroot is not safe enough. I want to create virtual boxes in which
I can give root rights to other people and I want to be sure that they
can't break other boxes.
AGAIK if you have root you can escape chroot'ed directory. Another
problems that root can have direct access to devices. I
Or i reccomend slackware if they are more interested in learning. only after
they are used to linux do i reccomend debian as a reward for getting the
hard stuff done first(at least in the slackware users). I was suprised how
many people at my last job chose slackware despite my clear warnings
I have .bashrc set up to support color ls, but .bashrc isn't called when I log
in.
If I subsequently start a new shell, however, or 'source .bashrc' then the file
is read and processed.
What's the best way to handle this so it's done automagically upon logging in?
Just throw source .bashrc
Tonight I tried to install the latest version of ssh onto my system, but I
wasn't paying close enough attention to the dependencies. Ssh 2.5.1p1
requires libc-2.2.1-2 or higher, and potato uses libc6-2.1.3-15.
I have a vague recollection of problems running apps using libc-2.1 with
libc-2.2, so I
Every time I start Vim with a new file, I get an intro screen. How do I
surpress that?
Despite my intense dislike for Microsoft, I have an MS IntelliMouse, and I'm
very fond of it.
If it helps at all, Logitech builds most of Microsoft's mice for them.
I don't know if it works with Debian (still getting my box configured), but I'm
quite partial to the Logitech USB optical mouse.

I know it's bad form to reply to oneself, but I thought I should also state
that this mouse comes with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter. If you
don't have USB support, you can still use the mouse.
I've been running it for several
I don't know what all this is about. Still, it woke me up.
I was just reading this in one of the TCP/IP books I have, so I'll take a stab
at explaining it (and let somebody else explain the
errors).
IP addresses are divided into host portions and network portions. The host
portion is assigned
You've made me feel guilty. I would have expressed myself better
if I'd known you were going to this trouble.
Oops. :)
I actually knew about the range of addresses, but I couldn't remember which
ones went with which. Besides, I also omitted the fact
that *.0 and *.255 are reserved addresses.
When I installed Debian 2.2r0 a couple of weeks ago, I did the smallest install
possible - I let dselect install the default initial
set of packages. Over the past couple of weeks, I've done very small tailoring
to the system: turned off all network services,
switched a few programs (for
while it is tru you can remove most scriptin support with removin the
microsoft scripting host, what if you're a developer ? Or you're environment
requires you to be able to run scripts ?
Then you have a handful of choices.
1. Run a virus scanner, and make sure you update it EVERY DAY (even
can someone give me anything that micro$oft ever did which makes
sense, is secure, and abides to standards???
*chuckle*
I can see the sign hanging on the walls of Microsoft:
Security, Standards, Sensibility: Choose Two.

Storm is not quite dead yet.
It's, uh, resting. ;)
I recently installed Debian on my laptop, but some of the programs I was
planning on using exist only in unstable (for instance,
Enlightenment 0.16.5).
What are the dangers in upgrading my system to run unstable? What issues am I
likely to face if I do upgrade the whole thing to
unstable? Would
Are you sure you want Enlightenment? It eats a lot of memory...
It's the one I'm most familiar with, and my laptop has 128MB of memory + 256MB
swap, so I'm not /overly/ concerned about the memory
usage.
However, after having read about some of the other window manglers, I'm
probably going to
