Ok. I haven't started the hunt yet but I know its coming, since the
wireless card doesn't seem to be working automagicly. Also, my GF
(whose computer this is) would like to be able to use YouTube, Java
web sites, and DVD player out of the box and apparently at least
some of these things don't work with the standard desktop task selection
for the latest debian stable. Have you by any chance tried these
things?
Is it just a matter of knowing which packages you need (I don't) or do
all these things take custom builds?

No, I made a mistake there. Thanks for telling me.
Thanks,
