Not sure about being normal ;-) My favourite time is early morning
so by midnight I'm ready to snooze. You must be digesting your dinner!
I'm ready for my breakfast.
I like the all nighters, but I've got to function some days :)

I've got a clean install, upgraded to 64testing, all ready to go ;)
going to try with third party repositories enabled.
I have kept one lenny upgrade, it's kinda sweet.
Need to find a balance between 64studio & emacs22.

GeForce FX 5200 here, on two computers, cheap and they work ok
I am going to follow your lead and check out intel
I swear my audio works better "before" I install nvidia,
and I don't care about eye candy.
No experience of ATI here, but looking back through the lists
has been interesting ;)
Looking at getting a laptop, don't know which one yet.
