Re: module sound with potato 2.2 r2



This raises a point that has been puzzling me for a while. I sthere a list 
anywhere of all the groups in debian, what they are for and when users should 
be added to each group ?

I tend to do it by "cat group" to see what groups there are then guessing but 
maybe it is documented somewhere ?
