I'll let you know how that works out. Part of my lack of understanding is undoubtedly due to my lack of experience with newer hardware. My "newest" Debian system outside of this desktop is a seven year-old Dell server, and I set it up over a year ago with Squeeze and haven't had to mess with it since, other than the usual updates, configuration changes, etc. I've never had any experience with Debian on anything other than older Intel hardware. I do maintain several much newer systems here at work, but they are Dell x86-64 running CentOS, and I inherited them. In t he meantime, I'll go back and re-read the install guides since my knowledge is obviously way out of date.
