Re: Root password strength
The thing is my password is very easy now, and i haven't thought about "automated connection attempts" , that sounds rather... scary? My password is easy because i am not afraid of direct physical access to the computer. This is mostly the case if you for some strange reason run an SSH se...

Re: Which laptop do YOU run Debian on?
I mainly use a ThinkPad T440s, but I also own a ThinkPad X240.
All-Intel parts haven't failed me yet, especially if the computer is at least a couple of years old.
You could also take a look here to see other users' experience with certain hardware.

Re: [Off-Topic] Help wanted: Writing a beginner's book to Debian
I for one, appreciate books (if indeed it's going to be in print). The more there are, the better the coverage. No two books are the same and present (more often than not) differing perspectives on the same material. I commend the attempt and will consider how I can contribute. Thank you for your i...

I firmly believe that a beginner's book could attract new users, and also that attracting new users would be beneficial to Debian in the long run. A Debian beginner's book would hit a segment where ...
