	aaargh - Windows @ brianL Don't - just be happy to have a "free" and running OS. Always nice to know about Windows - there is a lot of people out there being thankful for your knowledge. Makes for a nice dinner all once in a while with friends having some shortfalls on Windows. And since I have Linux I have time to spend on others Windows computers

Howto get newer package versions for Debian Stable

To install sid packages in testing do:

Code:

echo 'APT::Default-Release "testing";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf, edit sources.list, copy your non-security testing lines and change one set to sid, then apt-get update.  Use apt-get -t sid install foo; to install foo from sid rather than testing as usual.  WARNING to SYNAPTIC users: Synaptic ignores Default-Release: set Preferences->Distribution

You can also use the aptosid or siduction repos.

Or backport from sid following the steps in the main post.

To upgrade a package that was installed from source do:

Code:

uupdate (in the <devscripts> package) upgrades a source code package from an upstream revision, or e.g. if the newest foo in debian is 1.2, and upstream is at 1.4: apt-get source foo; wget -nd http://foo.org/foo-1.4.tar.gz; cd foo-1.2; uupdate ../foo-1.4.tar.gz

	Why does my answering machine want to know what year it is? If it only announces the day of the week then the year isn't needed. If it announces the day of the month then the year can let it know if there are 29 days in February.

	My birthday presents I forgive you, Ani. Thanks. I didn't log into LQ on the 13th, so I would have missed it. You can stop banging your head now.

aaargh - Windows

what I also absolutely love about linuxes: you can just copycat your rootfs and you get a working system in just time you spent waiting the copy. and of course, once configured, forever working.

i'm very lucky not to touch anything in windows for already three years, except rare cases when I boot it to play some games, which happens about once per 3-4 months. however it is fast enough to get me all annoyed.

	aaargh - Windows +1 here! I blogged about my experience back in February. Horrible!

	aaargh - Windows Yeah, I know how you feel. I recently wasted time and money installing Windows 7 on my desktop. I didn't really need it, was just curious how it would run. Got rid of it after two days, and been kicking myself since.

	Fuduntu - Dell D600 .... been a bit lax on updating this sorry for that. The Dell D600 is now running Lubuntu 12.04 and is a lot faster than Fuduntu. I did like Fuduntu and would give it another spin but it was just to slow for me compared to Lubuntu which is my main distro of choice.

Unofficial RPMs for libcsv

Thanks for the comment.

I don't provide a separate signature for RPMs because I sign them all with rpmsign, and of course I'm looking to save myself as much work as possible, so I don't want to do it twice. You can verify a package with rpmkeys --checksig <rpm_file>, after importing the key with rpmkeys --import <public-key-file>. My public key is available from:

ftp://frigidcode.com/pubkeys/714ED81D.pub.asc

As to your second question: they are actually all hosted centrally on the ftp server. If you travel up the directory, you'll see everything under one package name, but in categorical subdirectories. Links on the Web page simply point to the file in the FTP repository. All future site files will get dropped into the FTP repository (some older files are still on the Web server).

	Unofficial RPMs for libcsv Looks OK to me. Maybe sign the packages with your GPG sig? Can't understand why you don't host the packages and source packages in the same place though. SF made uploading real easy and people then don't have to look in different places...

	Quick method to integrate AD with Linux Clients? Please post your technical questions in the forum like you did here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...how-to-943711/ and not in your web log.

No, I haven't read or heard about anyone of them. Nor I
even wish to, now. The discovery about Nazis was enough
to turn me to into a agonist.

Don't loose your sleep ma'am.

Above all, don't tell these feelings to your future in laws. In some parts of South Asia this is reason enough to get you bumped off since you will not be honouring their religious sentiments.

OK
