Heh, glad to know that we're on the same wave length on expectations.

Partitioning is a tricky bit to the install process; one of the reasons I covered it in a different fashion than the one that can be found in the "debian kit readme" you can find my way in section 1:4 I think.

Remember for partitioning

~leave that tinny space at the beginning alone.

~leave make a partition for android to use the first partition

~make the android partition large enough that you can fit your: backups, re-flashing zips and recovery directions with files for recovering from a soft brick, and android system info that automatically likes to save there... about 3 gigs for me at the slimmest

~make the second partition the size of remaining space after the android partition.

~ensure all partitions are at the correct size and that you didn't accidentally move or over write that beginning few magabites during any of your edits (this is important)

~ensure that all have labels of some sort and drive letters you'll remember and that don't cause conflicts with your currently mounted drives on your computer (had errors when my sdcard remounted after partitioning on my computer because the second partition of the sdcard and the drive letter for my computer's cd read/write drive where the same.)

~hit apply and hope no background task on your computer makes things barf. (Try turning off your computer's internet, or, starting these steps from a fresh reboot, or, in a live cd environment whether it be real or running in VM)

Hope it helps, I'll be working on partitioning again as my myTouch's debian install has gotten chubby again with all my testing. Updates will be where they always are first :)

As for LXDE I encourage you to experiment. I've seen methods around for installing other GUI's to the "armel" flavor of linux but I've been on other tasks with this guide as of late. I'll be back on it as I'm going to be trying to link one of my phones as a secondary keyboard and the other spare phone I have as a 3D mouse (both are myTouch 3Gs) so that I can use my epic 4g as the main screen. Currently LXDE serves my purposes fine but I like you will want something a bit more snazy... added a sub section in section 7 so I can add info related to this as I've time to do so.

Running Linux as your rom is still in development stages and very risky for your device as it wipes everything off your device and I mean EVERYTHING you'll want to know how to recover from a full brick or super brick on your device though a computer and you'll want to have been though re-partitioning your system memory, re-flash your boot loader, re-flash your stock rom and kernel and programing, and re-rooting. You can find an Ubuntu flavor of Linux that will do just what you are asking, just google search "Ubuntu touch" and read up about it. Last I checked things where going really well for that team and there is already a lot of documentation on it.

Furthermore google search "linux android kernel merging" you'll find exciting news that the linux and android kernels are soon to become one. There is a big push for this from all over the dev communities and news is constantly being updated for it as this is very good, very good indeed for us all.

Hope I can make your heart beat a little faster with excitement for the future of mobile computing and thanks for the feed back I'll be working off and on throughout the day on the "doc"
