It's in recent Debian branches - thanks for the hint ;)

ksirc or xchat are there, too.

We use KDE.

It's in recent Debian branches - thanks for the hint ;) I wonder why he
doesn't use gnucash as gnome user.
> OpenSSH. It’s like nothing else. Duh. apt-get install openssh-client
openssh-server

YOU. Also, svn move. My entire home directory is in a private
Subversion repository, including configuration files. apt-get install
subversion

right? rsync -avz, baby. Yes, I know about Unison. Shut the fuck up
about Unison! I tried it! I don’t like it! It’s okay that you do! It’s
a big world! We can both co-exist!
There is an update and >200 comments, so please, all check the URL.
Don't forget updating Skolelinux Signpost and corresponding Wiki pages.
