Trying my hand at linux after burning my fingers with mandrake ages ago. got hold of an old Live CD of Debian with Gnome 2.4 and find the desktop architecture really cool. Here are a few questions I need answered: 1.Will someone educate me on the new Debian 4 release? What are the system requirements? 2.ToI of yesterday has the piece on Knoppix having a desktop even better than Windows Vista. Can it be installed or it exists only on a Live CD format?

Serial Port control of Zenega CD-1005S
by Anil Gupte 02 Apr '06

BlankIs there any way to control the Zenega CD-1005S (supplied by DishTV) through the serial connection using a PC. Actually, all I want to do is to be able to change the channel so I can record a program on my PVR. I want to be able to send a signal at the time my program begins, and change the channel to the correct channel and start recording to disk. Oh, and yes this is a Linux PC. Thanx, A. Gupte
