I'm disappointed that USB drives still don't pop up. I was under the
impression that they would.

I added
SOUND_DAEMON = pulse
to lts.conf, and now have quite a lot of sound working, though not the
hard core apps like rosegarden and audacity. However, Gcompris plays an
annoying little tune that I was unaware of until now, and I can use amarok
to play tunes. Kaffeine also works now (use to crash every time in etch),
playing sound and video.
The only thing lacking for me (never mind the "serious" sound apps for
now) is sound in flash. I wish that would work, because its the sound I
most need.
School hasn't started yet, but my thin clients are booting much faster
thanks to faster NICs in two of my servers (thanks Jose) so I'm hopeful
that sound will not slow things down too much. Let's see.
