As far as I remember, with Squeeze, the Nouveau drivers wasn't working
very well.
The driver of Wheezy mostly work (apart from weird font displaying in
Gnome Shell and an endianness issue with the second port).
Wheezy is usable as a desktop and for programming so may be that's
what you want to use.
