I'm really liking Debian - I used the Libranet install and found it 
quite easy to update everything. I used grub so I had to modify 
/etc/kernel-img.conf to update the kernel - other than that it has been 
pretty much smooth sailing moving from RedHat.

startkde didn't work (is this because it's libranet?), but I found using 
kdm there was no problem (kdm is a better choice than the default gdm).

Unlike the RPM GUI package managers in RedHat (that frustrated rather 
than helped - I just used the command line) the synaptic manager is 
worth using. (I'm still reading up on the command line way of doing all 
this).

What has me puzzled is that I don't see in /etc/apt-get/ the apt.conf 
file - instead there is apt.conf.d a directory that has only a one line 
file in it.  - OK - I see in /etc/libranet/atp a config file, but it 
isn't what I expect?? Looks like I will have to figure out what to 
change to make this a stock Debian setup.
