		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m seeing some funky &#8220;new&#8221; (to me) behavior that I&#8217;m having trouble tracking down. Maybe y&#8217;all have seen it before. Using kernel 2.6.18-6-686 (debian etch), I can have a shell script open in vi, and suspend vi to run it. But on 2.6.26-1-686 (debian lenny) I get this error: host:~/dir# ./shellscript -foo -bash: ./shellscript: /bin/bash: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most difficult things to deal with while using a Linux desktop is the clipboard. There are apparently two clipboards on my desktop &#8212; perhaps more? I&#8217;m running Debian Etch w/ Gnome 2 based apps, if that matters. If you copy text from one window, you may not be able to paste it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note: This is *way* out of date. But who knows, the patch may still work. You know how programs like &#8216;less&#8217;, &#8216;vim&#8217; and apparently &#8216;mutt&#8217; and others clear the screen when you exit or suspend them? To some, it&#8217;s a feature.

I&#8217;m using rdump, over SSH, and I&#8217;ve reached the end of tape. As I understood it, the tape library was supposed to automatically [...]]]></description>

This board uses Intel&#8217;s new onboard 82563EB NIC. For some reason Intel designs their NICs to not be backwards compatible in any way, and so each new NIC release seems to require a brand new [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s especially irritating when you have to deal with the abomination that is daylight savings time. So, I&#8217;ve finally decided to go ahead and set my server clocks to UTC (or GMT). It wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The version of metacity that ships with Debian Sarge has all of the focus theft prevention code disabled entirely, meaning that every new window ever created steals (or is given, however you want to put it) focus. I&#8217;ve spent quite a while this morning trying to figure out how to disable this behavior, finding nothing, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Moving from FreeBSD to Linux, another issue that came up is that apparently Linux&#8217;s default terminal information allows the use of the &#8220;alternate screen buffer&#8221; from vt102 or some such thing. This is what causes less and vi to clear the screen when you exit, screen to not allow you to use xterm&#8217;s scrollback buffer, [...]]]></description>
