I believe to install the nvidia driver the Debian way, you need to enable
the non-free repositories then install
glx-alternative-nvidia
libgl1-nvidia-alternatives
libgl1-nvidia-glx
libglx-nvidia-alternatives
nvidia-alternative
nvidia-common
nvidia-glx
nvidia-installer-cleanup
nvidia-kernel-common
All the back and forth. I say, if you want to be truly safe and if you have
the means, give your old hard the same treatment as the Terminator in T2...
Other than that, let your security meaures match your threat environment. If
you have to worry about National Technical Means, then by all means,
