[Gllug] KDE and Debian

Debian's documentation is, essentially, ask someone who already
knows.  It's far from ideal.  There are a stack of things that are
best done the Debian Way <tm> but you have to find out about them to
even know they exist.

Have a poke around with the following:
* kernel-package (/usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz) for managing your
  kernel builds within the packaging system.
* menu (man update-menus)
* modutils (man modutils)

The Debian Way <tm> of doing any particular task is often different
but as soon as you learn it you wonder how you did it before.

the great industries are secure. We hear about constitutional
rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear
these words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is
a Communist. You never hear a real American talk like that.
