I am using KDE. I had to mess around in the XF86Config-4 before I could even
get startx to start KDE. I would like to know how to move around without the
mouse just for convenience sake anyway. I am new to debian but have tried
red hat and suse some time back.

I understand that 'real men' use debian.
