Comments/Problems:I have installed many different Linux distros in the past
Suse, Slackware, Red Hat, Mandrake, Independence, Peanut, Etc and FreeBsd over the years
This is my first experience with Debian and my first Dell laptop experiment.
The stable release just would not install properly. I had the most problems with
setting up X enviroment. xf86config would just not do it no matter what I tried!
So I scraped the install and went to your "testing" version and was quite pleased!
Thanks!
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>The only thing I found
a little uncomfortable were the install screen colors but Hey! No Biggie!
Thanks again for everyones hard work. You have a winner!
