“One of my many New Year’s Resolutions has been to
rebuild my writing PC and get down to some serious writing again.

“Because the PC is rather old and not very high powered this has
restricted the options available to me.

“None the less, I was confident that I could build a working
machine from an 11 year old 600MHz Celeron with 256MB of RAM.

“I started by downloading the latest Debian Squeeze Beta from
here.

“I should say here that even though it’s officially a Testing
release, it is , I have found, more stable than many final
distributions.”
