Ah. I have just done the same with my Alpha. Yes Debian will take me
some time to get used to as there are many difs. Unfortunately there are
boot probs with the Alpha CDs as burnt but after a day I had a working
system. I just can't turn it off yet! Iv'e subscribed to the
debian-alpha list and they were very helpful in solving some of my major
probs.
I have some minor probs left.
1. In RH I configured the Alt-arrow buttons to lower and raise windows
and the Ctrl-arrow keys to switch desktops. This was done with a
graphical tool which no longer seems to be supplied. Neither the new
Gnome or new Enlightenment has this.
How do I set keyboard behavior. I grepped through the enlightenment dirs
but prob didn't grep for the right words.
2. The Gnome dialog boxes are all appearing too narrow. The buttons all
overlap by about 10% of their width instead of being separated. There is
a big blank section to the right of them. Ie the widget container that
holds them is correct sized but the buttons are alll too far to the
left. Anyone seen this before?
3. What package provides Xt.h ?
I need it to compile gvim as Debian's gvim is not compiled for X (yes
there is a gvim-gtk bininary deb package but when you run it it says
"GUI not compiled in"). I can't edit with out gvim :-)
PS. I'm a proud Pine fan and will certainly be pulling down Pine :-)
