that appears to be a 2.6.x feature. if there is an easier way to do this in 2.4.x, i'd like to hear (not that the patch is tough). also, i like to use FB (without the framebuffer i only get the middle half of my laptop screen - i suspect it's a centered 640x480), and i like to get rid of tux a

I'm looking forward to Bill's KDE presentation tomorrow, where I hope to pick up all kinds of useful tidbits! But I have a burning question right now about the fish kio plugin. When used with konqueror, it is a very convenient way to transfer files over ssh. However, the date stamp of the fil

Okay, so this weekend, the little kid I'm tutoring and I set up a PII I got from a friend, and installed Debian Linux 3.0r1 (the disc I had on me). I have one complaint so far... during the boot sequence, it throws a Tux at the top left. My box does the same (I recently installed 3.0r1 from scrat
