Debian Testing... only with LXDE...

I feel like wiping my Suse partition... KDE4.1 is better than  thought, but still too "heavy" for my taste... 

I feel like (once again) performing a minimal Debian Testing install (32bit of course, despite my amd64 cpu...).

-So what would be the difference ??? I already wrote about that some time ago...

This time, I read here: http://debian-news.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=4526 that "LXDE has entered Lenny, thanks to Andrew Lee. It is a quite
lightweight desktop environment that is made with the Eee PC in mind."

I don't own an EeePC, but I feel like experimenting with LXDE, and comparing it to a barebone Fluxbox install...

Also from the same blog, a goode news for me and my TVcard: "The
debian-kernel team was prompt to add atl1e to 2.6.26 which has just
been uploaded to sid. We hope 2.6.26 makes it into Lenny."

I have a dumb "Real Angel 330", which according to this site: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Powercolor_Real_Angel_330 "This board is supported on kernel 2.6.26 and above."

Let me tell you that I am resisting the urge to go for a Sid or Sidux experience, as I just don't feel at ease with Sid... I am more of a "Stable" kind of guy, willing to go to "Testing", when it is well-tested...

Gotta leave you guys, power just went off... will write about it later !
