Hello: Please provide some examples of common problems when using Debian GNU / LINUX....so that I may more effectively gain a better handle on the trouble-shooting process. Thank you! Sincerely, Herschel
I think main problems is lack of support for certain hardware, or "difficulties" (you will had to do some researches... but it is as on other systems) to install few of them. Some examples I am thinking about is support for recent NVidia cards, various wifi or sound chip-sets which do not always have free drivers. The common way to solve those problems is by adding non-free repositories, and install them. Forums are a good starting point to gather informations, they often contain solutions, and the fun point is that you do not need to limit yourself to debian forums.
Other problems you may encounter depends on which OS you were used to. If you come from windows, you might be surprised by the strong security by default and the structure of folders. When I have switched from windows to debian, I thought that separating software configurations from their resources from their binaries... etc was stupid. But when you become used to this, you think the windows' way is wrong, since it does not allow, by example, to save and restore system's configuration as easily.
You might also be surprised that some configuration actions are made through command-line and by directly editing configuration files. Those configuration elements varies depending on the desktop environment you will choose. Some of use like to have to tinker with command lines and files, but I think most people prefer graphical tools.
I really think problems you will have will greatly depends on your computer knowledge, the OS from which you are trying to switch, and your hardware.
