I have lenny running quite nicely now and find it quite comfortable.
I had trouble getting the nvidia module running with x but that is solved. A
simple but hard to find/understand solution that is explained better here
than I can explain it.

In a nutshell you need to get the installer from the nvidia website and copy
nvidia_drv.so into /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers.
Lenny's xorg.conf also is missing a "Modules" section. I renamed my xorg.conf
and recreated it with nvidia-xconfig and all seems to be well.
I'm running the same kernel and nvidia stuff as etch. I give Lenny two thumbs
up.. :)
It does seem to lag a bit behind where I thought it would be but sid is moving
at breakneck speed, I suspect a lot of that stuff will be moving into lenny
soon.
Anyway, that's my $0.02.. :)
