+2. I tried ( again) to do it the Debian way, and after I installed all the 
packages, ran all those command-lines, rebooted, I was ( again) met with the 
same text-based login prompt & GDM wouldn't start. So I ( yet again) removed 
all the nvidia packages, reran sgfxi -c, rebooted....ahhhh.. back to my 
NVIDIA driver. what I have never understood, is why, when my video driver 
breaks, it also breaks my network. Every time I boot up & GDM doesn't start, 
my network is broken too.
