Motherboard drivers?
Most new motherboards come with a driver disk for Windows XP. Is there
a need for drivers in Debian as well? In XP, the system will run without installing the drivers, but it runs better with. Is there a similar issue in Debian?

If there is a S-ATA/RAID controller onboard which doesn't have any suitable driver inside Linux kernel, you might need a driver CD. Cheers, Frank -- http://frank.uvena.de/en/ |

In other cases you just don't have a choice because of hardware vendors only provide closed source drivers (you may remember Nvidia's and ATI's graphic card drivers in past). So here in such cases it is really a matter of it works or not works at all. Regards, Frank -- http://frank.uvena.de/en/ |
