Sorry if this is an inappropriate message for this address, but it was the only Debian-feedback address I could find w/o joining a mailing list.
I have recently switched from Red Hat (7.3, then 8.0, then 7.2) to Debian, and apart from non-qt menu/dialog font size problems, which I have yet to resolve (all fonts are too big, ~14pt menus, in non-qt apps., despite: changing the default-resolutions line in /etc/X11/fs/config to 75,75,75,75; and trying every other suggestion I could find), I have the following questions: Why the hell is my PC almost twice as fast at running the same apps. under Debian as it was under Red Hat 7.* or 8.0? What happened to the KDE 2.2 'bugs' I was so used to in Red Hat? Why are web pages rendered so fast? Why aren't KDE apps. eating up my RAM? Who the hell invented apt-get-ting packages without having to deal with bloody dependencies? Why are the handful of people I know who use Linux, use rpm-based distros? Steve PS. I'm in your debt. -- Steven Homolya School of Physics and Materials Engineering Monash University VIC 3800 Australia Tel: INT +61 3 9905 3694 Fax: INT +61 3 9905 3637
