Debian is the "pure" linux. Pure as in untainted by non-free code.
Linux from Scratch is the "pure" linux. Pure as in untouched by any hands except your
self. If you try this route, good luck. It will take some time investment. ;)
Debian likes your video card just fine, configuring X is the problem.
'rm -i' is not burned into your .bashrc. Remove it from your .bashrc of your current
logged in user. Look in .bash_profile. Log out and log in, or run 'source ~/.bashrc'
Or run "alias rm='rm' " To remove it from your current session. 'alias' will show
you your current aliases.
