Easier for a grumpy geezer like me to remember. I use it a lot. Most of my problems boil down to that.

I seam to resemble that remark

But is does not come with Network Manager either by default. I use Ceni just fine though as well as Rutilt and Wicd also.

Not sure anyone's stated the obvious yet but if you install Debian from a LiveCD, it installs a network manager.

Hi, I have recently installed Debian Squeeze but I have installed it from the Live DVD and everything works fine. All you have to do after the installation is add the repositories from it's own Live DVD and you are ready to go. Check this site if you want to download the Live..: http://www.debian.org/CD/live/
If you need a step-by-step on how to install the Nvidia Drivers just let me know I think I might be able to help you with that.
I'll be in touch just in case you want to install it the way I told you.
Good luck and see you soon.

You might want to try out crunchbang it's based on squeeze and is very lightweight and stable. You cold still install KDE or whatever from synaptic and it has all codecs installed by default
