Note: I do not want to start any flame here against Debian.
I'm a real Linux lover : I come from a Fedora system and simply decided to
install few days ago Debian Etch-4 to give a try after reading that it was
(after a long delay it seems) available in a stable status and because, after
all, Debian is at the origin of so popular distros like (K)Ubuntu.
But I have to admit (once again : I really do not want to start here any flame
and I really respect Debian) that such problem is cumbersome.
