I'm getting a bit confused here playing around with debian.  On RedHat do 
you have to install everything with the RPM?  What if you don't?  Does 
the index of installed programs get messed up?  Is anyone else using 
Debian out there?  I guess both RedHat and Debian have program managers, 
but I don't see the advantage of a program manager yet.  For example, 
let's say I want to install Xfree86 3.1.2 patch level e and there is not 
an RPM or Debian package out there for it.  Do I have to install the 
Debian 3.1.2 in order for the Package file to register it?

This is just some random rambling questions.  I don't have too many 
problems with Debian yet.
