META TOPICPARENT	name="UnixNotes"

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.

Line: 68 to 68

USB device permission

I had a problem where Debian would see that a camera was plugged in but I could only list the files on it (e.g. gphoto2 -L) as root. It turns out that there's a group called plugdev that controls access to the /dev/bus/usb files that are used to talk to the camera. \ No newline at end of file

System Clock

By Unix tradition the system hardware clock is set to UTC, but Windows expects it to be set to local time. You can edit this in /etc/default/rcS.

PC Speaker

You probably want to shut it off - it's very annoying. Add blacklist pcspkr to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.
