Why does it work?
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?

PS. I'm in your debt.
