Undo Updates or Install Of Package
A killer feature of yum is that you can run updates, then if something breaks you can run yum undo. Basically, yum keeps a log of what it did. Is there any way to do with with apt-get, aptitude, or dpkg?

Some Tips About Debian Printing (Necessary Packages)
I have pulled my hair out getting Debian Squeeze to print with a printer that normally works fine in other, more spoonfed, distributions. I have built my Debian install from a minimal install and wish I had someone tell me the things that I am about to tell you. Obviously this won't cover all instan...

Re: Gnome-Shell slowness is killing me!
Gosh the responses here are terrible. I guess there is a hate toward gnome 3 in the debian parts.
Get a Fedora 17 CD and try that out. See if you still have the problem. If not, try to note the differences in the systems.

Re: XFCE + Nautilus + Windows Shares
Ah, I figured it out!
I needed(to my knowlege) the gvfs packages listed above, as well as fusesmb and the Users and Groups application for Gnome. I then went into Users and Groups, Advanced Settings(for my name), and checked the mount user-space filesystems (FUSE).
BAM! it works.

XFCE + Nautilus + Windows Shares
Hi all, Back when I used Gnome I could mount windows shares and read and write from them. Currently I have XFCE installed from the xfce-desktop package and need to have the same functionality. I don't mind using Nautilus to do so, and actually prefer it. So far I have installed nautilus and gvfs-bac...

Hi all, I am wanting to understand repositories better. Lets say for example I have my sources set to main, then I add the debian-multimedia repository and do an aptitude update and aptitude upgrade. After doing that some new packages get pulled in. Now, lets say I want my debian to be pure again. S...

Re: Vim, Nano or Emacs Which do you prefer?
I personally use Vim. I also use Pentadacte(Vim keybindings) in Iceweasel.
I really like Vim for coding. If I have to just edit one line I may just write nano and use it.

Re: Things That Make me Love Debian
Just nuked Ubuntu off my last trial computer last night. My wife liked the pretty UI, but it was eating up 1.6 GB of RAM on idle. I replaced it with Debian 6, replaced metacity with compiz and replaced the gnome panels with awn, and she's loving life now, at about half the RAM. I did something simi...

Re: What desktop/window manager do you use?
Gnome 2 here until 3 hits stable. I can't wait for the change, but am patient enough to know that it will probably only be ready once it hits stable.

Maybe a hasty decision but I'll avoid that upgrade because to me it just doesn't look like an improvement.Couldn't wait to eject that cd an...
