That name is a blast from the past!

Fortunately there is a Debian way to install video card drivers using packages in the repository. Installing the drivers the Debian way will make sure that the drivers continue to work after kernel updates.

  • ++AtiHowTo++ has instructions on setting up the recommended free and open-source drivers for ATI/AMD video cards.

Also love this part

You would not let some random stranger feed your baby; do not execute commands without first understanding what they do.

I didn't know checkinstall was a thing, now I have something new to try

I am also learning about apropos

I didn't knew that before either. I always installed to /usr/local .

This is GOLD!
