Ulrich> My sound doesn't work completely up till now, and so on... Yes. Now that you mention it, Debian took a bit more effort to set up sound than RedHat because RedHat ran sndconfig for me. Hardware detection and configuration is important to getting Debian (and GNU/Linux in general) usable to the general public. I know the new Debian installer has some hardware detection, but I've never tried it, so I don't know how good/extensive it is. Ulrich> P.S.
