Interesting. Everything I read when I was doing my Googling last week said
that the Nvidia module can't be installed with the server kernel.

Is installing the server kernel as simple as this?

$ sudo aptitude install linux-server

If so, how do I install proprietary software like Nvidia afterward? A
little self help Google came up with this:

sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server

Should that work? If it does, will Adept and Adept Updater still work?
