Also, since this is Debian, should I set the --prefix=/usr flag when compiling source code?
Teague, i do not have anything to help you but i am replying because i
literally *loved* the subject line of your post:
"Now that I have a working GNU operating system"
WOW, it is always my dream to use GNU OS as my main daily-routine OS.
you just fulfilled that dream partially. partillay because i want to
say that subject line ALOUD to this world. GNU is my love, i was not
able to keep myself from writing a reply. next month my ISP will go
OK,then i will download K14 CDs and play with HURD and by next 2 years
i will be leading HURD developer :-)

people say RMS is arrogant and when email him about some question i
had, he politely said "please help us by calling the whole system as
GNU/Linux, we need this help". only then i knew people mean "please
from RMS == arrogant", quite funny thing IMO.
