A few thoughts: * I accidentally hit the wrong screen resolution on install, and it took me a while to work out "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". Not easy for a novice, although perhaps I missed something. * Similarly, sounds wasn't working automatically and I had to work out I needed to run alsa-conf * Getting libcss for DVD playing wasn't easy to sort out (nor was getting a working version of VLC) * The hardest thing was installing nvidia 3D driver going. I had to download the driver from nvidia, it couldn't find a relevant version, so needed to get the kernel source to compile it against (not obvious which package it is!), "make prepare" and "make prepare scripts" on the source, and finally it worked. A novice (even more so than me) wouldn't have managed! * USB and internal card reader working automatically beautifully None are complaints, and I expect most are because I'm trying "testing"! Thanks for a great system.
