When I built my first Debian machine, I had to use testing (Etch at the

anything in new hardware that I should particularly avoid because it
might not be suppprted by Lenny? I'll be keeping the old peripherals,
so this only concerns the components inside the case.
I have many computers running lenny with no problems at all. All devices
are properly detected and configured.
Note that Squeeze is frozen: it is near to get stable.
What I mean is that you may want to wait for Squeeze.
