CL is fine, just cuz I mentioned Kynaptic doesn't mean I am completely sold
on it. I did the sshd install through command line. Easy.

I'm not a big pager fan... I tend to CTRL-Tab when I want to use different
desktops so no need for the pager at all. I'm a keyboard shortcut speedfreak
when it comes to stuff like that.

Okay let me ask you this; we installed sshd with apt-get, how is dpkg going
to affect things? Are apt-get and dpkg compatible? I'm not even sure I
understand what I am asking... such a noob.

BTW, thanks Todd, Jason and you Gustin for the help. I know you are eager to
spread the joy of Debian. That's cool.
