Debian GNOME Part 1

Seeing how nice Debian was on the G5, I decided to test it out on Triela.

After installing, I was met with GNOME fallback, as GNOME 3 was not able to load because of hardware issues - in other words: I need to install FGLRX (Debian decided to use some "random" VESA" driver instead...)

Needless to say, I didn't really test anything past there, as I couldn't exactly remember how to install FGLRX, nor did I want to have to fiddle around with it again, knowing that the open-source Radeon driver covers all the GPUs I own (the highest being the AMD Radeon HD 6770).

I might test again on a desktop, but I'm sure if I want to.
