Simply select a stable branch for that and be done. Then, you didn't need to know anything about linux to use it. So, your points may all be true, but, they all forget the point that debian/sid isn't a distribution. If you like to use blending age software, witch is clear stated as developer version, on a outdated mobo, you have to count with problems. Also, I wasn't able to found a single request on any official debian site (bug report or wish liste) witch ask for get back the nv driver. Stated out here on a Audio User liste about missing pieces, lead in the wrong direction. greets hermann _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
