You rule! Finally! Man, I'm not sure what to think of Debian yet. I'm having a hard time picking up the package management system for some reason. Also, testing distro doesn't seem to have the libc-client2002edebian package, but an install of the unstable package worked fine. While, I am at

2003-06-09 Thread Alex Polite
I've been having problems with X instability for a long time. I'll do something in a app (usually mozilla, firebird or galeon) and X will freeze, not responding to keyboard commands or mouse movement. I can still ssh into the machine, run top and find out that X is consuming 99% of my CPU
