Debian and its clones "With Etch you get the best package manager around in APT, a rock solid stable system, and the ability to tinker with the desktop all that you want - without having the procedure become too arcane. If you are familiar with Linux then I would strongly recommend you try out Debian Etch - just an awesome release by the Debian group."

Why does anyone need a live cd, and set up a chroot to mingle with xorg.conf? Isn't it possible to just load console, or boot straight into a non graphical environment and go on from there, it's how I solved my early nvidia problems, less fuss.

agreed.

sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf


man <videodriver> set the settings, remember your Xfree86 background and test away:

:wq!

%startx

If it fails, check /var/log/Xorg.log

Find the EE/WW; repeat and rinse.
