I have switched from Gentoo to Debian/Etch now. I have built the Arduino tools, but so far I can only get it to run as root. I can’t get it to run without crashing as a regular user. I don’t know if I can actually program a board as root yet, since I don’t have an Arduino board yet.
Any ideas on what permissions are out of whack for regular users?

Hm… I’m assuming you can log into KDE and stuff fine. There are a bunch of groups which you might need to be added to, but the one that hits me is dialout (which is all serial ports, including USB ones).
Did you get it working?
Not on my slow Linux/FreeBSD box. I have not tried it on the fast Windows/Linux box yet.

I just tried now, it asks me to load something at startup (either as root or a normal user) but won’t take example code. My guess is some system file? Does this via source or the Debian package they have on their website. I didn’t think Arduino was so Alpha, thought they at least had stuff reasonably working.
