We are friendly folks who could have helped you with these issues. Ubuntu has everything integrated, more or less, for desktop user and include some restricted kernel modules which are non-free by debian. Debian also doesnt have all the auto-detection. But with debian-user and maybe looking on wiki.debian.org, we would have given you the advice needed.<BR/>Cheers,<BR/>KevAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32299877.post-62424594055689153592007-04-02T10:38:00.000+00:002007-04-02T10:38:00.000+00:00I'm not trying to be unfair or discriminate but ju...I'm not trying to be unfair or discriminate but just trying to post how I became unproductive that is all.

Users have always been part of the sound group automatically. Sound has always worked out of the box.<BR/><BR/>Which version of Debian did you install? If you installed Sarge, then itä's really unfair to compare it with ubuntu. You should try Etch which is current Debian testing and which will be released as stable soon.<BR/><BR/>Etch has much better support for the wireless cards etc than Sarge. <BR/><BR/>Ugly looking fonts can be fixed by setting GNOME fonts settings properly. If you use TFT-monitor play with subpixel settings. You can use fonts-preferences which you can find from GNOME menu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
