Hi,
I am very interested in this project, because we have exactly the problem this adresses: new hardware (Dell Optiplex 755) which is not supported by etch. Even the kernel from backports.org (2.6.22) does not help, so we are experimenting with backporting 2.6.24.
I had a look at etch1/2 today, following the instructions on wiki.debian.org/EtchAndAHalf, but couldn't see any new linux-images.
A few minor issues I noticed: o) simply adding a "deb ... etch-proposed-updates" line to sources.list does not work (for ftp.de.debian.org), I googled that mirrors.kernel.org/debian works o) a hint for using apt pinning in order to control which packages from etch1/2 will be installed would be useful o) contray to what I gathered from your discussions, there are plenty of new KDE packages. Do you plan to support KDE/gnome upgrades?
