I want to maybe when the next installfest I'll bring my machine in and see what can be done. I have gotten all the way to getting the x-windows setup with no hardware acceleration. but I have gotten totally frustrated trying to get my soundcard working (soundblaster live) and at the time I had a odd video card, a off brand nvidia, but now with the video card that I have ( a radeon 7000 ) hopefully Debian doesn't think that it is a strange card. and before I was trying totally on my own with no one to ask questions. I keep thinking that linux is similar to the movie matrix, (poorly quoted) do you want the red pill or the blue pill? windows vs linux is very much like that, in my humble opinion. and now that I have seen the power and the reality of just how a computer works and I cannot stand going back to an OS that wants to keep me dumb and ignorant and just click here and there.
