Debian Linux 6 and the Trinity Desktop

“Well, I am finally done with a week’s efforts at almost
successfully jumping from Lenny and a very familiar KDE3.5
environment to Sid and the Trinity Desktop.

“====== Debian Squeeze Install: ======

“Having installed Debian quite a few times over the course of 15
years, this was not difficult. I used a daily-build of the Squeeze
bootable business card for the install:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/unstable/current/i386/iso-cd/

“Debian 6, Squeeze, was released February 6, 2011, so my “daily
build” comment is no longer valid. Best to use the current “stable”
release.

“The build I had, which was some couple of weeks old, had an
unfortunate tendency to “hang” for a while with a blank (blue)
screen, waiting for something. It would eventually get on with the
install, and there were no errors that I could see, but it was not
a Good Thing to do that.

“I didn’t use the “graphical” install, since it’s just a change
in the display of the same text menues. I’ll take the text, thank
you, “Advanced ==> Alternate Desktop ==> XFCE”.”
