In squeeze, they shipped a dkms-version of the nvidia drivers, and it

Does your network card also require some alternative driver?

well, not alternate driver, just nvidia, as in the NOT-FREE driver. I have been using sgfxi to install my drivers, the last few upgrades. But there hasn't been an upgrade in a while, at least I don't remember one messing up my video setup. But that is good to know, thanks! Do you run gnome or KDE? just curious, in squeeze is KDE changed to KDE4 ? my wife still runs KDE3 and it would be a real shock for her to have to switch to KDE4.. I run gnome myself.

I run KDE, and am quite happy with KDE4 (at version 4.4 now). Yet, opinions differ, so your wife has to find out if KDE4 suits her or not. Of course, staying with Lenny for KDE3 is only a short term solution. In the long run, you'll either have to accept KDE4 or use the fork of KDE 3.5 at http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/.
