I have been using this distro for about 2 months now and have been
pleased with it immensely. Been around Debian/derivatives for 4 years
now and placed Lenny on this laptop that I got in July. However, my
sound, wifi and encrypted dvds weren't working.
Host/Kernel/OS "vampirepenguin" running Linux 2.6.23.1-slh-smp-32

Having a .23 kernel and alsa-base 1.0.15-2 fixed sound.
BCM43xx-fwcutter is depracated and the new package b43-fwcutter along
with support from the .23 kernel also has fixed this problem.
Unbeknownest to me my dvd -- Matshita 850UJ -- did not have a region
set on it from the manufacturer so even with the codecs installed my
dvds wouldn't play. I downloaded a nifty little proggie called
regionset and changed the open format to US/Canada region 1 and presto
dvds now worked!
So again happy bday to Sidux . . . VampirePenguin wildly tosses out
fishie pops, burnt grilled cheese sammies, m&ms and sidux cds to the
screaming crowds!!
