Hi, this is only a sugestion, but may help a lot to newbies installing Debian. When installing Debian and you reach the point of configuring X-Windows, the program anXious ansk you about to install xdm. The on-line comments tells you about the benefits of having xdm installed. But what it doesn't tell you is that if anything is configured wrong in this process you can end up with a system which hangs X-Windows when xdm calls startx at startup. The safe way is no install xdm after you are sure that everything in the /etc/X11/XF86Config is OK. And then go to installing xdm. This could be appear in the anXious online comment about installing xdm during a fresh Debian installation. Just my two cents...
