When cloning a Linux/Debian system 1:1 you should have a checklist of what’s important to change on the cloned system.

NNTPSERVER=localhost:9999 slrn -f $NEWSRC

Simple. No further setup changes. Just. Works.

Ich hab auf meinem Linux-Desktop 12 virtuelle Desktops. Die Zahl 12, weil ich genau diese mit Alt-F1 bis Alt-F12 ansteuern kann. Meine statische Belegung der Desktops schaut wie folgt aus:

1: Konsole, mit mehreren [...]

Ulrich Drepper’s "What every programmer should know about memory" (PDF)
D. J. Bernstein’s "Some thoughts on security after ten years of qmail 1.0" (PDF)
