Is there support for the Maxtor Onetouch4 Plus 1TB external drive in
Debian 5.0 release? If not, are there 1TB external drives that are
supported and is there a plan to support the Maxtor drive in some future
releases?

the spread of computers in the sixties and seventies, I had hoped that
limitations of technology might kill summer-time. Instead, computer
technology has become an enabler of a feature of my culture that I do
not like.
And let's see what OP was really asking for also.

in the US
was 'summer time' as opposed to 'standard time', which now in the US is
used for only a few weeks in the depths of winter.

first choice MUA is mutt, and you are looking for advice
about use evo/tbird without letting them mess up your mutt mail setup,
switching to imap doesn't seem to me to be a step you will be happy with.
At least read a bit of the mutt-users list archives before you try it.

ime to eliminate one future annoyance.
I would not use Gnome to do either of tasks, using backslashes or
using ext2/3. I can't abide anything that smacks of Windows, so I
really don't recommend backslashes as file separators, and I puzzled
as to why Gnome offers a user the opportunity to
ocale for each year in the past? For instance,
time/dates from early March in the Mountain time zone were in MDT this
year but should not be treated as MDT for the year 1980. How could
an investigator, or historian/archivist, deal with this?
I said OT up front, didn't I?

ich I might imitate, now that I
am aware of it, even if /etc/apt/ is also a safe place.
Now, the discussion has moved to how to query the packaging system to
get the most useful file of information. I'm still not sure what the
query string should be.

I'm convinced that the suggestion is worthwhile, but I'm having
difficulty following it. See below.

So my question: Is one of the many scripts that are part of a standard
Debian system nightly backup already making a fresh daily copy of the
selections and stashing somewhere (perhaps in var?) ?
