Peripheral drivers is the big deal - and XFree configs; if it has sufficient info for that, I assume, it'll be fine.

Broadcom Wireless. Ndiswrapper is easy to build from source - just simple ./configure && make && make install, then use ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver.inf

I built my kernel from source without it. Debian has a very unique great way of installing a kernel. First apt-get kernel-source-2.6.x (x being the version you want), then go to /usr/src, and usr tar -xvjf to untar the source file, then go into the directory, apt-get install make-kpkg, then configure the kernel using make menuconfig (it'll give you a menu where you can select options), then use make-kpkg, to build a kernel package, once it's done - do cd .., and then apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.x-whatever.. and it'll be in grub when you reboot..

Debian is built on apt, works great.

I have one product that I develop on Windows - and that's why I use VMware - Win4lin might be a better alternative, a LOT faster. I don't have Windows installed on my computer anymore - and it does everything I want.
