Well you are going to need X to do the displaying, you don't need gnome or anything else running.

As far as what video cards and how easy it is will depend on one thing, does this application require 3d acceleration? Last I knew OpenGL will only do acceleration on one display at a time.

If it just needs a display to be active and you don't care about viewing it you can use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb

You can ignore that, it's just a warning.

The manpage doesn't have a reference for mailer, but I'd assume it is expecting a sendmail binary, so you can try using /usr/sbin/sendmail , that is installed by postfix and is meant to be a sendmail compatible binary.

Easiest way is to have logrotate do it, it has an option to have logs emailed after they are rotated, Anything else is just going to require some scripting.

You can set those via whatever DE or WM you use. In Gnome it's under System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts . You will see the various options under the window Management group. KDE will have something similar.

/web/www should be owned by the apache user, which is normally www-data, it should not be writable by any group. The sites should then be put into that dir and you can set the permissions on those to be writable to certain users or groups. No idea on wu-ftpd, they don't even seem to have a website a...

How big are the log files? awatsts has to load large chunks of the logs into memory to analyze. If you have very large logs it could be causing the issue. At least it's some where to start.

Never had an issue with that, mdadm is normally first and last in the runlevels.

Those onboard raid controllers end up being a crap shoot, sometimes they work, sometime they dont, sometimes they do wierd things. One problem I usally get with those is Linux tends to boot the drives in a different order then they are connected so my raids get screwed up. Also keep in mind that the...

Apparently it's /var/log/kern.log not kernel.log If you can make it crash then try starting Icedove from a terminal to see if it spits out any information as it crashes. You can also try removing enigmail and making Icedove crash to see if it is Icedove itself or Enigmail that is causing it. Once yo...

Most of the perl modules you will need are already packaged and they all follow the same naming convention which is quite easy to figure out. Basically since just about every module is Var1::Var2 that would be in debian as libvar1-var2-perl. Also if there aren't packaged versions of the module your ...

There isn't a simple way to do that other than setting it as network drive within the Windows client. To do it via samba you will need to use logon scripts and samba would have to be the domain controller. http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapte ... 06_06.html

Sounds like you got a memory leak, this only happens when you send an encrypted email from Icedove? I assume you are using Enigmail to do so? Are you using the Debian package of enigmail? You can look in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kernel.log and see if you are getting any OOM (out of memory) warnin...

It was easier, but because the amount of libs being added to ia32-libs it was getting large it needed to be split into separate packages but the FTP master said no to having 100s of ia32-* packages. So they decided it was time to get the multi-arch system working and ia32-apt-get is the start of tha...

Some big changes were made to ia32-libs and most things are broke or wonky because of it. Try removing wine and installing ia32-wine

Warnings go into logs, thats why we have logs. If you don't like what is being logged than either change how the program does logging or change syslog. (or is it rsyslog these days?)

pureftpd has an upload script option that will run a script everytime something is uploaded

Lavene hit the nail on the head. Debian is the universal OS, it allows you to do a very basic install and then tweak it the way you want it. If you want all that stack protection and other crap then install it. Debian makes very few assumptions on how you are going to use it and typically only adds ...
