Hello,
Can You please help me?
i updated all of our computer to Debian 8 jessie
hardware
1. 64 bit Intel ( noname ) 4 GB-RAM .. o.k.
2. apple powerbook ( 2004 ) 2 GB RAM .. no sound
3. apple iMac ( 2010 ) 8 GB RAM .. o.k.
i installed on all these 'xfce' this runs ok
as I see, here in list, some problems are solved if switched to
gnome ?
If you don't like the "look and feel" of Gnome3 (many don't), I
find Mate to be comfortable to use.
Other Probs i have
WIFI HP Officejet 7500 driver hp-officejet_7500_e910
prints fine, but i can not scan... xscanimage shows " wrong
argument" I did not know what this mean or
what i should do...
Links and sub-links from

may be useful.
in one of the computers i like to install grup to the second hd
/dev/sdb, because the /dev/sda is has errors and i like to
replace it, therefore i need to boot from the /dev/sdb2.
That is possible if your BIOS allows specifying the boot device.
During the install, you may have to chose the "expert
installation" mode to have the option.
[snip Mac question]
i like to have a Notebook 17" for Debian/GNU two
must run windows ( Band in a Box and Sibelius ) but mostly ( >
95% ) run Debian/GNU Linux jessie
I am not familar with hardware
Budget is € 820,- maximal...
need 17" because I need the nb on stage for Sheets ( some double
- pages )
I think about 'Lenevo' or 'asus' what would You prefer?
I find my used Lenovo laptops (T43 and R61) reliable.
If one of your existing machines is suitable except for display
size, have you considered a digital TV as a monitor. I just
purchased a rather generic DTV and note even it has computer
input options. I believe I've seen some advertising WiFi
connectivity.
Thanks for Help,
best regards,
Peter
p.s. sorry, my english is terrific... ;)
