Does this mean that you can now run X as a normal user?
Can any other Debian folk help Mike figure out news and mail? I've never used news
(even in the Windows world), and my mail expertise consists of "I got it to work on

eventually figure it out, but it might be more efficient if someone spoke up who
knows what they're talking about.
