I have been running lenny as a desktop OS for about a month. I had an effortless upgrade from etch. I like it very well, with the following exceptions.
When I leave the machine overnight, it usually loses touch with the monitor. This occurs without regard to whether I lock the screen or not, or whether I leave the monitor turned on or off. No keypress, hotkey combo, or mouse wiggle has any apparent effect, and I have to hard reboot. I do not know what is causing it.
Open office has crashed X several times when editing MS Powerpoint files. No other application seems to be a problem.
In all these cases, ctl-alt-f{1,2,...} gets no response, and ctl-alt-bkspc and ctl-alt-del are ignored.

I was able to Get Lenny working great with minimal headache. I'm even using ATI drivers and xinerama for dual monitors, and it doesn't give me much problem. The only problem I see is X sometime crashes when I exit my session, but I haven't checked to see yet if that's a bug or a problem with the binary ATI driver. I also had to do a little foot work to get the wireless card working flawlessly in my laptop, but alas, we can blame proprietary windows drivers for that. =) Other than that Lenny Works great in my opinion. Great Distro!! -----Original Message----- From: Karl Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2007 12:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: lenny amd64 for Desktop Like to get some feedback from anyone running lenny on amd64. Is it workable? I'm currently running etch as a desk top - how well is lenny doing? Is there any estimate when it will be released? Guestimates? Any reasons not to upgrade? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Transtronics, Inc.
