You could try RedHat first and then move to Debian later on. Perhaps
some people would recommend this solution. Personally I suggest that
you stick at Debian for a bit longer. It's not really all that hard
once you get the hang of it. It just takes a little time to get the
feel of things. The big advantage of Debian is that generally people
on this list are very helpful. Sometimes the responses are slow, but
more often than not you get lots of help.
If you're feeling a bit brain dead, take a break and have another go
tomorrow.
How did you go with gpm? If I were you, I'd concentrate on getting that
working first, then worry about X afterwards.
Cheers,
Mark.
