| 00:08.02 | Blissex | steven_: it might be just a font problem. Try to configure FireFox to use standard bitmap fonts, or use a version that does not sue Xft2/FontConfig. |

| 00:10.34 | bob2 | what do "tokens" have to do with geteuid then? |
| 00:10.35 | Blissex | steven_: ack! I cant remember if the Debian firefox uses Xft2/FontConfig. Do you see antialiased fonts or just the standard X11 fonts? |
| 00:10.47 | cafuego | bob2: Of course I won't, strtok() is fine when you're reading data you saved yourself, so you know exactly what it is. |
| 00:10.49 | Caspan | ok and another thing what is a good program to take a snapshot of my server so that i can do a full backup without stoping my system? |
