Hello all,
I've been using debian for ages it seems now and have one question that's

Through X and in some cases on a local tty I get some odd characters.
This usually happens in a terminal in X (any of them) and when viewing web

My first step when I did this a few years ago was to copy /etc over from
another Debian box. This got things working well enough to start
reinstalling packages, etc.

This is what I would advise as well. Etch will be 'stable' soon and you
will have a stable system. If you decide, after a while, that 'stable'
isn't current enough for your needs you can simply upgrade to 'testing'
or 'sid'.

I've got a very strange problem which I'm going to try to explain here

As one could easily suppose that issue results from hardware problems

For things like saving photos to hard disk, I tend to use a few bash scripts
to rename the files, keeping the numerical part and coding something else in
place of the "cimg". For example, I might change all the files cimg1234.jpg
to cimg1299.jpg to be called foobar234.jpg to foobar299.jpg. I tend
