The war on copying : is a thoroughly technical paper that appeared (to me) much more interesting than your usual publication on the difficult issue of Digital Rights Management or DRM.

Free On Line Photos: is a web site with free photos to download. All the images are decent and free of intellectual property rights/restriction. the library is continuously maintained and currently holds 2200 images. Recommended.

Debian Tip #1 : when you install/re-install a <p> package (with apt-get install <p> , then apt-get remove <p>, then apt-get install <p>), it happens that it stops with an error message like:

xserver-svga failed to preconfigure, with exit state 1

This is caused by an uninstall problem in apt-get.It stuck me a long time before I finally found that the (infamous) solution is to properly clean after the uninstallation with something like:

dpkg --purge xserver-svga
apt-get install xserver-svga

Debian : I just started to seriously install a Linux Debian 3.0 distribution on a new PC. I will not fail to provide a few of the “tips” I could learn during this process.

Arnaud Frich: a French web site with fantastic panoramic photos. Follow the links you will find in Ressources to other great photo web sites.
