Please don't call it "Debian Linux". You're talking about a version of the GNU system, used with Linux as the kernel. To call the whole thing just "Linux" is to give the credit for our work to someone else who started later and did less. That's being unfair to us. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html and http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html, plus http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html for historical background. The Linux rendering looks like Linux doesn't do rendering. That is not part of its job. The Linux build is built using the following libraries This build has nothing to do with Linux either. (Some of the libraries in it are developed by the GNU Project.) The win32 build works correctly on my windows xp machine In hacker terminology, calling something a "win" is a form of praise. If you wish to praise Microsoft Windows, you're free to do so; but if you don't, then you might want to think twice about using the term "win32".
