I have installed Debian "squeeze". My mature machine works much better now
than with Ubuntu, which was causing screen scrolling to work poorly - very
poorly in many cases.
I used a DVD included in the latest Lunux PRO magazine. Oddly, installing more
programs is requiring the insertion of the installation disc. For example,
Midnight Commader required it. But I get it done.
But, I can't get my printer identified. CUPS can't FIND it, and refuses me the
ability to locate and ADD -- because it says I fail to give a proper username
and password.
I have two passwords, one that opens big doors -- including Terminal as
""root@mycomputername:/home/myfirstname#"" . The other opens a session for me
at boot time among other tasks.
But CUPS wants some username and password of which I am obviously not privy.
Where could I find what it wants? Where are usernames stored, anyway? Can I
find them via Terminal?
Minus this problem, I'm a happy camper and intend to stay with Debian. It
sounds so grown-up, you know. :)

PS I have Linux PRO magazines to give away. They are mostly beyond my
forseeable needs. I'll bring them to the next meeting.
