Browser Debian tends to be conservative about the versions of software that they include in their stable distribution, but sometimes you want to be more cutting-edge.

One of the packages that gets pulled in is udev which is a daemon that manages the device files in /dev . udev doesn't auto-load modules the way devfs used to, so you probably want to load the modules that you need by listing them in /dev/modules . In my case I needed to load 8250 since I've got a serial mouse. On another machine I needed to load snd-mixer-oss and snd-seq-oss to get the OSS emulation device files. |

installing/configuring i18n - Debian by default appears to install just the "C" locale, but you can do a little work to get many more languages. You need to install the locales package, then dpkg-reconfigure locales and pick the languages that you want. They'll be generated when you leave the program. The language codes are listed in /etc/locale.gen and there are aliases in /etc/locale.alias . To switch the locale set the LANG environment variable, e.g.
$ LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 hello |

> > | Debian GNU/Linux is the computer operating system that I use when I get to choose. It's a version of the GNU/Linux operating system that's developed cooperatively by people around the globe. It's very stable, very high-quality, and you can decide for yourself whether you want older, more proven software, or newer software, or bleeding-edge software. Freedom and control. Sweeeet. It's also somewhat more difficult to install than its commercial counterparts, so most people start with Red Hat or Mandrake first. You can get more info about the operating system (and the operating system itself!) at http://www.debian.org/. | |||||||
