Comments/Problems:
My main field of work and interest is C++ programming, when during
installation I was asked to select "typical tasks" (Desktop, Web
server, Print server, DNS server, File server, Mail server or SQL
database), I was not sure what to answer and so I selected "manual
package selection" (I don't remember the correct wording). I didn't
select "desktop" because a friend of mine told me that this resulted
in installing both Gnome and KDE (I use just Gnome).
One comment: is really Exim4 necessary in case of local delivery?
-----
On my previous notebook Dell Latitude D800 with kernel 2.6 I could run
X with resolution 1920x1200 without the proprietary module from
NVIDIA.com. As I failed to install 2.6 kernel this time I had to
download the NVIDIA driver but still the best resolution I managed to
get was 1280x960 so my screen is slightly distorted. I am sure that
this will be solved soon when Nvidia Quadro Go1400 will become common.
If I could help with installer testing on Dell Precision (from a
user's point of view), please let me know.
