I almost scrapped my Windows XP if not for the slight glitch when running Warcraft3 Frozen Throne. It seems to run slightly slower than when it is run in windows. i tried -opengl option but it still chops a bit. any thoughts on this? everything else works well.

My R52 needs the bcm5700 network drivers (from multiverse, sourcecode only). With the default driver I have DNS, can ssh out but http and ftp don't work. My current approach is to copy all packages I need for the bcm5700 install from another machine and dpkg -i through dependency hell. Glad to hear the kernel header files are now installed by default. There must be a better way to get it right but I don't know it. However the r52 feels quite snappy with 6.06 as well with 6.10. cheers --Markus Hi,
