Hi all Just completed the install of the latest debian from Shane. So, I would now like to start doing some tasks. Just wondering about e-mail perhaps with mutt? >From google, I gather there are a few choices, can anyone suggest some reading on mail configuration for a beginner? Also, can I prevent gdm from starting when I boot? Not sure that I want to remove it as I may want to try orca one day. I did not select desktop computer in the software install options but chose the last option, general system, I think but seems this has all the graphical stuff as well. Thanks and also thanks to John for his previous anser. Keith
