I'll give them a try as on another server as well then... :)

no gif: which is great ! because why do we choose debian?
1) it's GNU/Gpl, so no things which are not-compatible (like the gifs)
with this open and enlightend philosophy. Not having gif is not an
unpleasantness - it's a concious choice!
2) it has this really cool packiging system which allows people like
Michael to put it their valuable time, productively, to give us nice
packages in relatively little time, allowing us to sleep quitely through
the night without nightmares of compiling the right mysql, php or
whatever. *

so thanks michael!
and indeed - beginner questions about apt etc. are (as far as I'm
concerned) quite welcome, but maybe marked "OT" (off-topic) ?

greetings to all those tuxes out there,

Luite.
