Eureka! Excelcior!! Mission Control we have a Gnome Desktop. I had read somewhere in the list that sound is not working yet on the nubus 1400 pb, is that still the case? Thanks. Also, I have an old Debian Bible circa Potato or Woody. Does it still hold water as far as some configuration info and command line?

The question now facing me on the screen is a choice between gdm and xdm. Any thoughts on which one to choose. I like kde and gnome, but I would also like whichever of these two is easiest to configure. Debian without a gui is like bread without butter.
