I built my system from sarge debs, until I got to X. I started with 
XFree, but wanted to try Xorg, so I built it from source so I could 
mess around with the Unichrome driver. Once I did that, my Debian chops 
where not up to fooling the package system that I had X installed, and 
I ended up building everything that depends on X from scratch, 
including Qt and Myth. I'm sure if I spent the time to figure out how 
to get the package system to know about my custom built X, I would have 
saved time in the end, and there may have been a way to build the 
Unichrome driver without building an entire X tree from source. But I 
was lazy. And impatient,

I started out with my M10K doing a net boot, and then threw in an old 
laptop drive in my quest to get rid of stuttering. So now that I have 
things working, it should be easier for me to test different setups 
using new NFS roots. I'd like to rebuild my setup using more debs and 
less custom compiling.

Good luck!
