Debian Lenny updates and Etch and a Half
Another day, another new kernel and Xorg package for Debian Lenny. I keep hoping that one of these updates on the road to Lenny going Stable is going to magically solve my video problem (those screen artifacts I get with the Gateway Solo 1450).
Again, if things magically change, I'll be squacking about it big time.
I also added the Fvwm window manager. As it installs, Fvwm isn't anywhere near as well-configured as it is in OpenBSD, where Fvwm is the default window manager.
But it is Fvwm, and I've gotten kind of used to it.
Have you noticed that in most distros, things work way better in the default window manager then they ever do in the many other window managers you can add to the system?
I also finally burned a CD of Debian Etch and a Half, which somehow melds Etch's packages with a newer kernel.
I don't know if Etch and a Half will perform better or worse than standard Etch or Lenny in its current state, but I intend to find out.
