I've had success running debian testing.  I've experienced pretty
minimal breakage of packages, but perhaps I'm lucky.

On machines with NVIDIA cards, I've install the *NVidia* published
versions of their drivers.  Their installation is pretty straightforward
and they can be uninstalled easily as well.
