Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I am currently having some issues with my Linux desktop running Debian 4.x code-named Etch. I love the Debian distribution. All of my best Linux experiences have occurred while using a Debian-based system.
This morning, I ran the Synaptic Package Manager for the first time in a long time. I updated a few items, and installed a few new items. Now, I am having problems with KDE progressing past the loading of services. I can get GNOME to work in fail-safe mode. I loaded it up, and then checked the Services.
I was running, for some unknown reason, Apache and Apache2 along with Samba – three services I have no use for on my desktop. I stopped them, and I removed them with the package manager. t’s getting better. It’s takes me about a minute to log out of GNOME. Perhaps it’s time to make a switch to a more minimalistic environment? I have been desiring to make this adjustment to my desktop environment for a while now.
The best part? I still feel totally confident that my data is intact and secure, despite minor configuration issues. This sort of thing was never a reality an M$ OS.
