Well, before I go walking in the muddy footprints of the Buddha who has walked there before me ... I will wait awhile longer, as I do at least have a stable system, though riddled with these weird glitches, as I call them. It may take me another week or two, as I have things to do, but in the meanwhile I can observe if anything has changed for the better. I have at least upgraded my existing daedalus system, have added those non-free firmware packages, and I ought to give it a try like this, before messing up everything. I do have a life of sorts, you know, and keeping my thing together sometimes means that I have to use a computer, a working computer, hopefully a Linux computer of my own design. There is no hurry. If, after a few reboots and some time for observation, I find that these same issues persist, then I believe I ought to try upgrading from daedalus to chimaera by changing my sources.list. If that doesn't work, then I will try a new installation, starting with a minimal installation of chimaera, then upgrading to daedalus and excalibur. At least, for the moment, that's the plan.
