Boy did I miss you guys . . .

So I ran the 4.0 r3 netinst, and just for giggles ran an apt-get update and
apt-get upgrade. Nothing needed, but cool.

Have a look at aptitude for package management (but do read the docs
first).

1. Who would like to help me with the Sound Card issue? We can do it via email
offline from this list. I've never been really good with loading modules and
drivers . . .

Why offline? I suggest you start a new thread with as many details about
your hardware as you have and what alsa packages you have installed (you
should have at least alsa-base which will also pull alsa-utils). My
first suggestion would be to try a kernel from backports.

Andrei
