fsmithred wrote:Maybe. Or maybe a skeleton distribution with the tools already installed. A do-it-yourself kit. Not sure. Lately, I've been busy with just keeping the tools working through all the changes in debian. This is nothing like lenny to squeeze or squeeze to wheezy. Those were smooth transitions in terms of keeping the tools working. Not so, this time.

(If anyone has a spare recent nvidia gfx card for pcie they'd like to donate, it would speed things up. I need to use two monitors, and the current card won't do that in jessie.)
