Comments/Problems:
* Framebuffer console is very slow with vmware
* what if you didn't have to configure exim4 (mail) and and samba during
installation: newbies (I) don't know what they are, and won't be able to
use them bf reading documentation.
* it's great thet xserver knows what resolution to use with vmware's
svga :)
* no splash image set after reboot
* debian shouldn't gksu with "remember password" checked on by default
* too many services listening to outside world on first boot
