I'm not sure I agree with the 'a lot more research' part either. I suppose
it's a matter
of knowing the right packages, but those can be searched for in Synaptic or
bookmark some
places like the links below for about everything you need..

.... etc etc
these is a lot of documentation on getting all kinds of things running, and
most of them
are along the lines of 'install this package'..
as mentioned it does get better with each new release, thankfully. I've always
been able
to get what I need without Automatix and if anyone on the list needs help
setting up
features without it email me directly. It's no problem
