I have an Epson multifunction device connected to a Raspberry Pi running the latest Raspbian. As you can see in the output below, scanimage will only find my scanner if I sudo it, but sane-find scanner finds it just fine without sudo.

On Debian 8.1, I’m using a Bash feature to detect whether the stackoverflow.com website is reachable:
Since Java 6 is not available in Debian 5 I decided to take it from Oracle. I have downloaded Java 6 SDK in file jdk-6u45-linux-i586-rpm.bin. But how to install it?
So I’m using etckeeper on my machine running Debian 9.1 with KDE and would like to view diffs (or if that isn’t yet implemented: past versions) of specific files. How can I do that?
