Debian User Forums

Have experimented already. Seems fine. I guess was just holding back out of a mistaken loyalty to Debian and a large slice of laziness. If Adobe are providing security updates then I might still be able to squeeze a bit more time out of Wheezy? Owncloud-client seems to have died too... I'm almost lo...

Will Debian Wheezy be getting an update to flash player? This plugin is vulnerable and needs to be updated it keeps telling me. Or is it time to finally upgrade to slackware?

I'm going to hang on to Wheezy until Slackware 15 is out and if that gets infected with systemd its off to one of the BSD's. I've already played around with PCBSD and was mostly impressed.

One way or another, I won't be using systemd...

I'll be switching to Slackware once Jessie becomes stable and if slackware becomes infested I'll be off to PcBSD. Have tested both and am happy that they will be able to meet my needs. The default gui of both is KDE which is my favourite anyway, so I'll be fine. As just an ordinary user I'd like to ...

Can confirm that I had the same updates. All seems well...

it does have some SERIOUS lacks that make it difficult to use regularly....for instance a package manager. there isnt one that is specific for KDE under squeeze, and the only way to install/update packages under wheezy is to use a console..... Um... Have you tried synaptic? I don't use wheezy but t...

I think it is more likely, that YOU are crap... There are too many people coming into Linux now with your attitude. "It doesn't work, its crap! I hate this I hate that!" Quit whining and either get a clue or go back to windows... The proper way to deal with a problem is to :- 1) Search the...

I'd love to be able to help you out, Themibehind. Which way did you come in?

Remember, Debian isn't for everyone. I think this counts double for those who can't even spell it correctly...

I bought Mandrake 10.1 beginner edition. If anyone wants it, I still have it in mint condition. I was too scared to try it on my main desktop so I put it on a very old Pentium II. It seemed slow and clunky and as I had no ethernet or wireless connection, fairly useless. I tried again in 2007 with Pc...

You seem to have a problem with the concept of appropriate words/actions. Perhaps, you are a bit of a newbie yourself when it comes to politeness and respect for others? You consider that being polite? I politely pointed out his impoliteness. So, yes... You can stick your concept of tra-la-la where...

I think certain newbies should be dragged to the nearest veterinary clinic and be put to sleep. Anybody agrees with me? Be honest, you are not talking to your wife now.

As a relatively new Debian user (2 yr +) I roughly agree with your points, although as has been said, hate is too strong a word. This forum was a surprise to me. It's a lot less active than I would have expected, seeing as Debian is one of the founding fathers of Gnu/Linux. I can only think that mos...

I chose 'C' and twice weekly but I would have also ticked Python and Bash. As I'm in the UK I'm not sure how the timing would work out for me though.My preferred time would be 23:00 GMT...

I jumped straight in and bought a sheevaplug with an 8gb Debian SD card.
