Well, I didn't quite brick it, but it didn't work too great, either.
I'm in the "clear up any mess" phase. :-)
I couldn't get any menus or task / status bars in Gnome after the
dist-upgrade, and I'm stuck with the Wheezy kernel. I finally
discovered I could get classic Gnome, and that's what I'm using now.
A bit of scattered Googling turned up that some 3.2.16 kernels fail for
various reasons, and I need to figure out how to see what's causing it
grief (udev? Something else?). I'm hopeful that getting the kernel
fixed might be enough to make Gnome happy, too.
Tips on where to look are welcome.
Bill
