I have recently switched my SID to UTF8 locales. It was as easy as running
dpkg-reconfigure localeconf (great !).
Everything works fine as before. The only problem I have is the Midnight
Commander displaying nonsense - the columns are not correctly alligned,
characters randomly split around
I just second this. Only IMO the UCS2 (fixed two bytes per character) would be
much more appropriate to a modern UNICODE system. The variable length (2 to 3
bytes ) UTF-8 encoding can marginally save some space (depending on language)
but introduces nasty overhead to character handling - even
between having
UNICODE and the old ASCII at the same time and it is payed for by
implementation uggliness and complexity.

Any tips?
I think there should be a debian package/packages solving this problem
automagically for those who do not want to go through all the reading
themselves.
It should contain something like this:
openldap, samba, kerberos, nsswitch, pam-ldap with all the needed configuration
and simple wizards,

Yes, it is. Firefox uses gtk toolkit which uses .gtkrc* (like .gtkrc-2.0)
config files. One way is to manually create this file or in KDE you can install
gtk-themes-qt or something like this to force gtk apps to use the KDE theme or
fonts.
Another thing I had to adjust to get rid of huge fonts
This is not just your first impression. GIMP sucks even after long term usage
in terms of usability - windows scattered over the whole desktop, overlapped
toolbox windows, incredibly stupid archane file dialog, the gtk slowness etc..
However, there is a hope: the KDE's Krita program is the step

It seems there is a bug in the linux-image-2.6.12 package - it should depend
at least on module-init-tools (responsible for creating initrd) and it does not
depend on anything!
As a workaround do the following:

# apt-get install -f // for sure
# apt-get install

It's easy - uninstall the FAM package. It is useless and spoils the umount

I fought hard to install Debian on this machine with debian-installer's linux26

I agree this is a serious bug - the debian installer guys should pay close
attention to that !!! The linux26 is currently not installable on many PC's
with SATA disks and IDE CDROM's. The problem is probably caused by the broken
