firmware-ipw2x00 (debian non-free) is required for my 2915 ABG

A really good tool for first-off configuration is ceni. It's not in 
Debian (yet) but mepis has it, works here on Squeeze.

Well done for purging kde4!

Don't forget the Debian bizcard install method, you get just the base 
then install the rest manually. You can use smxi for most of it. Cuts 
the bloat and the gnome/kde4.
