Dear Support!

I am using linux since Suse 6.0, and always I was using KDE. I don't know why I
don't like 
Gnome.
Also I am programmer since 1987, mostly on Microsoft based systems, and I have
began 
programming on Linux since 2001. In the last few years I am using Lazarus/Free
pascal.
I have installed Debian 6.0.4 on a normal, simple dual-core Intel CPU computer. 
Trying to use the new plasmoid KDE I have encountered several problems:
- this plasmoid skin is very hard to understand how it works, rather
complicated, it took me 2 
  days to figure it out, 
- I cannot change the computer's name from the Control Center, I had to change
it manually in 
  the /etc/hostname
- when installing Linux, setting the network settings to DHCP, I cannot change
anything for the
  default eth0, I can change it only manually in /etc/network/interfaces
- in the Control Center the default eth0 connection does not appear, but the
NetworkManager
  uses it and the computer can access the internet
- I can add a new connection in the Control Center, and the new connection will
appear in the
  NetworkManager, but I cannot make the system to use by default my new
connection, after
  booting the system always will use the originally installed eth0 connection
and I have to 
  change manually to my new connection
- if I add a new connection as root, then that new connection will be available
ONLY to the 
  root user, and not to the normal user
- the good old KPackage package manager is missing, synaptic cannot be used to
install a
  downloaded deb package, I have to do it manually with dpkg
- in my software I am using the Times New Roman truetype font from Windows... I
got used to
  it and I like it... I can install it under the new KDE, but I cannot make my
Lazarus program 
  should use it... 
- Amarok is also very complicated to use and often doesn't starts, cannot play
anything
The old 3.5 KDE has none of the above problems, everything could be done from
the Control
Center and everything was working perfectly.

Can You help me in these problems ?

Best regards
Zoltán
