Just note that Sid no longer includes the NV (open source NVidia)
driver. It includes the newer Nouveau (open source NVidia) driver.
Unfortunately, Nouveau doesn't support the older NVidia hardware ...
Their newest update now includes an RT kernel 3.0 as an option.
[My current modus operandi is to use ubuntu live
to partition, grub and
generally check out a new system. Then install debian. Any better
suggestions are welcome :-) ]
Another debian live cd that has proved very good at dealing with new
hardware etc, and has a very long track record, is aptosid. This team
made sidux, and before that kanotix. Almost pure debian sid, with a
small repo of bug fixes and configuration files, and a nice manual.
