Can you provide some details on the version of Debian you are running? Also
versions of gdm, kernel, etc...
Yes, I'm running Lenny
2.6.22-3-k7 on a 4 yr old AMD chip. Plenty of memory.
When I shutdown or restrart from gdm, I get the following showing up

However, on reboot, the Xserver fails to start.
Thanks, Paul.
I had lingering glx files and kernels that were still on the machine.
I followed these instructions from the nvidia forum and removed them.
Works fine now. Thank you again.

If you are asking that kind of question, I would stay with Etch. Look
at the advice you've had so far. There's no reason to upgrade from
Etch unless there are specific newer software packages that you feel

Here's a weird one.
On a new installation of Etch, I edited sudoers to give root
priveleges to myself (user rick).
Suddenly when gnome asks for my administrator password or when I try
to do su it fails to accept my root password.
If I log out to terminal, I can log in as root, but not as su.
Plot thickens. Not a sudoer problem, probably.
Examining bash history, I mistakenly chowned /bin (instead of ~/bin)
to my username. I chowned it back to root, but I must have messed up
permissions the setuid programs.
I'll figure it out when I get back on that machine tomorrow.
Thanks,

Thanks for the thoughts and advice. I agree about learning to use man

I guess I'm just curious if a similar thing already exists for Debian.
And if not would it be a useful project to redo the Ubuntu How-To with
an eye toward the Debian user.
