[olug] Debian Newb Help

After using SuSE pro since 7.x, I finally threw in the towel and went 
Debian.  Seemed like a good time to do it... what with the new release 
and all.

I do have a small laundry list of things I'm still trying to figure out, 
so if anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd be mighty obliged.

1. Nvidia driver - is there a Debian way to approach this?  Or just run 
the Nvidia installer?

2. Installing Fonts - Some website mentioned typing 'fonts:///' in 
Nautilus, and then dragging and dropping new ones in.  I could drag, but 
no fonts were copied over.

3. I have a .bash_profile in my user directly, but it's not being 
sourced ever.  Any idea why?  Note: my .bashrc is being sourced.

4. (a bit more esoteric) Anyone ever install ColdFusion MX developer?  I 
had it running under SuSE 9.2 on top of Apache... Just curious before I try.

Thanks for reading,
Eric P.
