Just a quick update on what I've done so far on deblet on my 770.
Note: I'm not very familiar with Debian, but pretty familiar with Linux and the shell.

WiFi -
The first thing I wanted was WiFi. So I needed to get the OS to recognize the interface.
As root, I edited the file "/etc/network/interfaces" and uncommented and edited the lines:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
up iwconfig wlan0 essid NETGEAR power 200u multicast
(Note: NETGEAR is the name of my open access point at home. It's on a separate firewalled subnet from my home machines, and I like my neighbors. :-)

This didn't totally work tho. I could do an "ifup wlan0" and it would time-out trying to get dhcp (or I'd hit ctrl-c) and it was ignoring the essid. But after I did the ifup, I could do:
iwconfig wlan0 essid NETGEAR
dhclient wlan0

and then it would work... A bit awkward, but not bad.
At some point pretty soon after getting wifi working, I did an "apt-get update".

Then I read about a package called wifi radar. So I installed that (I must have used Synaptic from the GUI because it's not in my history, but "apt-get install wifi-radar" would be faster (if it's spelled wifi-radar :-). ) and it has an option in it's preferences called "ifup" and when I enabled that, it shows me lists of access points, allowed me to connect to mine. Nice and easy.
WiFi works great.

Bluetooth keyboard.

I have an iGo usb keyboard I wanted to use. So I started work on that.
First I hit ctrl and the two function keys to start my keyboard broadcasting. Then I went to the terminal as root and typed:
hidd --search
That found my keyboard and showed me the address (which is also on the bottom of the keyboard).
So I edited the file "/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf" and added this to the bottom of the file:
device 00:11:22:33:44:55
{
name "Think Outside Keyboard";
auth enable;
encrypt enable;
}

Also, I loaded my Bluetooth Manager preferences (It's the blootooth symbol in the taskbar next to the clock), and went to the General tab and set Automatically authorize incoming requests. If you're paranoid/secure, you don't have to do this. Your call. :-)
Next I edited the file "/etc/default/bluetooth" and changed 2 lines as such:
HIDD_ENABLED=1
HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect 00:11:22:33:44:55 --master --server"

You probably only need to "/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart" to get it to kick in, but I rebooted it as I was being very mean to him with lots of other attempts at the time. :-)

Now my keyboard connects automatically when I hit a few keys.

Time...
OK, the last thing I did was fix the digital clock. It's not broken, but it was showing me UTC, not local time, and the wrong time zone and 24 hour format.
So, I went into Digital Clock Settings from the clock and changed Clock Format from "%R" to "%l:%M %p"
That got my display to 12 hour, but still the wrong timezone.
So I went to the shell and typed:
tzselect
And I went through and made my selections.
When I was done, it gave me a line to add to the end of a file called .profile in my home directory, so I did that.

I rebooted and now my clock displays local time in 12 hour format.

Nothing fancy here, but just something to possibly save someone some time (or me when I have to re-install and come back here to remember what I did. :-)
