I have heard that some people have installed Debian on the One Laptop
Per Child machine

Do you have any info or links to this? I have one of these from the
GIGO program. It's full of kiddie toys which I would like to replace
with something more useful to me.

Thanks

The X-Window opens but never reaches the login, just shows a small
circle with rotating dots. As root I ran top -i and intermittently it
showed root running gdmgreeter but each time it was shown with a
different pid and I couldn't kill it. Xorg was also running.

Background: I have been using gdm and icewm for years with no problems.
Yesterday in an attempt to get iscan installed I installed first gnome
and the Xorg as some elements of these were apparently required for
iscan. There were no apparent problems until I shut down the system
overnight. When I booted up this morning the X-Window was locked in a
loop as described above.

In an attempt to correct the problem I ran dpkg --purge gnome and dpkg
--purge Xorg and rebooted. Same problem.

How can I kill and remove this rogue program?

Sorry, I thought if I changed the subject it would start a new thread.
Now I know better.

In mailers that ignore Reference or In-Reply-To headers, it will appear
as a new thread. Most email packages don't ignore those headers,
though. A prime example of one that does is Outlook Express.
