I'm sure they do, but when I run a command, I don't think in which
module that is, to me it is all Emacs.

Perhaps my statement should be specified into: Emacs AND Linux is
not the same as Emacs AND Windows. It doesn't matter if Emacs is
the same, if it doesn't play the same in a new environment -
perhaps Emacs should *not* be the same to make it work the same?

My .emacs broke on a dozen plus places - and the only thing I ever
installed separately on Debian is some LaTeX stuff (that I
remember).

But, even if I were to give you half a point here, there were so
many other details that I noticed. I use Emacs all the time so
there is not a single char on any screen that can change color
unnoticed. Just to give you an example: big files. I *never* had a
problem editing, scrolling (browsing), etc., big files in
Linux. In Windows, it started to lag like crazy.

The whole thing was so frustrating I decided never to do it again,
after putting a considerable effort to make it work (on the same
computer). I believe that you got it to work, but I don't believe
I could do the same.
