Today is June 30th and, as announcedearlier, the Debian Wheezy release is now frozen!
Normally Debian package maintainers/developers can upload software into the Sid (unstable) or testing releases of Debian. But the frozen status is special. Frozen means new software nor major new versions of software no longer will be accepted into Wheezy; instead, all efforts will be put towards bug fixing the release for the day that Wheezy is released as "stable".
Man, I used to really like Debian a lot. Four boxes in my home running it. An intern had recommended it once to me back in the early 2000s. I have an NFS server running on the i386 architecture, lots of disks, all was fine. In the living room, I had a passively-cooled "hush" workstation, also running Debian, lenny at the time. xine, vdr, streaming vdr content to the living room, mplayer, it was our web kiosk using Firefox and Thunderbird as our e-mail client. The CLE266 on board was good enough to decode DVDs and DVB-T broadcasts.
Google searched far and wide, and decided I need some help with this.
What I am attempting to do. (still a linux newbie)
slowly put my home PC's behind my Linux gateway, eventually move my work PC' behind my gateway. Since I am still learning and need to keep my work PC's active to the internet. I want to initially have my router1 static IP to my Linux and dynamic to my work PC's. (sounds simple). Running on a dual AMD 64. Plain server no GUI
FTP is a very insecure protocol because all passwords and all data are transferred in clear text. By using TLS, the whole communication can be encrypted, thus making FTP much more secure. While this is a good thing, not all FTP clients support TLS. This article explains how to enable or disable TLS in ProFTPd based on the FTP user or group.

I'm looking to purchase a new computer.
Looking for any known issue's or even general feed back on my selections so far as I've been without a computer for nearly a year now (just work laptop)...
Points of concern is support for Mobo in particular...
I've never used 'Debian' it's self...always Ubuntu / Mint and before that long ago...Mandrake...and would consider myself basically a noob looking to upgrade to a junior.
Cherokee is a very fast, flexible and easy to configure Web Server. It supports the widespread technologies nowadays: FastCGI, SCGI, PHP, CGI, TLS and SSL encrypted connections, virtual hosts, authentication, on the fly encoding, load balancing, Apache compatible log files, and much more. This tutorial shows how you can install Cherokee on an Ubuntu 12.04 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support.
Hello everyone, I'm a linux newbie and I can't seem to figure out how to reverse a pretty big mistake I made yesterday. I attempted to install the icedove package using aptitude, and allowed it to handle all the dependencies (by removing packages/adding packages/etc). I walked away from my computer for like 20 minutes, and came back to a black screen. Figured it just froze so I restarted it, anddd now all I can get access to on my linux partition is a command line. I can login and navigate bash but it won't let me run any GUI.
