I also got my first Arduino now, and it's a Diecimila board. I
couldn't upload anything to the board on my main machine, though, and
at first thought it was broken, but then it worked fine on my laptop.
Need to investigate this later.

I was told by my vendor, that one has to use the 0.9 Arduino software
to upload, I didn't try any older version anyway.

I also didn't yet try Firmata, maybe I'll check it out next week, but
as I need to control stepper motors, I might not be able to use
Firmata anyways, I guess. 

Hint for Debian users: The Debian instructions on arduino.cc are way
out of date, follow the Ubuntu docs instead.

Autoreset is a nice feature, but on some boards it doesn't work, as
they have the wrong firmware on it accidentally. See the FAQ.
Thankfully it works for me.

Ciao
