You mean Distribution, not OS. Your Debian copy is a Linux-OS, like

run apt-setup and add a Debian source from a mirror close to your
location. Then run "update" in dselect and you will see the package.

Hm, didn't Mandrake ship with XFree-4.x? If you wish 4.0 (Potato's
default is 3.3.6), follow the instructions in

and
