Comments/Problems:i did the gui install very nice 
but i had a problem with the question : clock congiguration UTC ? i don't know what to answer was the 
check flag a YES  or was it a NO after install i noticed that debian screwed my clock setting to UTC times instead of local time.

i check for the default desktop after install i notised that this was gnome i prefere KDE and had to install it afterward

in the gui install it took some time time to get used to the fact that in details ( shell menu ) i had to answer questions this was not obvious upfront it took a long time ( more than 30 minutes ) to discovere this problem after that no problems at all, but a newbie could be looking in the dark and thinking the instalation has stalled.


install works great 
Wacom Intuos 2 works  in conjuction with logitech wheel mouse.
wacom pen workt 
philips  pcv740k webcam lights up but doesn't screw up the usb bus anymore great plus.

network:works better , debian stable has a problem with dual boot with winxp.
 After warm reboot from winxp debian was not able to configure the network properly. 
This problem seems to be solved now with sid on my system i can warm reboot to debian now and get an working intenet connection.

3d ATI acceleration not tested - this was a great problem in debian stable

video resolution of 1900x1200 works great.

in the gui install it would be great for example to combine certain quistions for example
localisation : time and language in one template.

i selected non free packedges but after install i could not select acrobat reader \
i know that kde or gnome have pdf reader with a tested they have greatly improved butthey lack some of the small featured witch acrobat has.
acrobat reader is a killer application for me without it linux is only 50% functional. 
i have to sort out if a can install this program via apt or via the adobe site program download.

just my 0.02 cents
