Alrighty! Time for the completely open edition of Debian with some much needed software updates to stable. Most notable first impressions:
During installation you should have your non-free firmware files ready on a FAT formatted media. Lucky me I only had to worry about my Intel wireless support and I just installed the .deb file post-install and it came up just fine.
My Dell Precision M4300 boots incredibly fast now - under 1 minute!
Will be checking in semi-regularly with tidbits and installation notes for the Dell products that I use (Precision M4300, Precision T3400 & Precision 690 workstations).
UPDATES:
Seems Iceweasle has been brought up to par as well. After installing Sun's Java6-jre and Adobe's Flash10, no issues with the Juniper VPN connection and Flash. I was getting "Try again later" messages with Gnash. The Vmware console plugin is also playing nicely.
