I’ve been using Debian as my main OS for some time now. What follows is serveral accounts of my getting certain hardware and software to work for productive ends. These accounts are in no way intended as a form of support for any of the products which may be mentioned. I’ve simply recorded here my experiences in the hope that it may prove useful to others. There can be no guarantee that anyone else will obtain the same results that I have. This document is not to be interpreted as an invitation to do anything with any computer. To make a long story short: I am not responsible for anything that happens to any computer if the following is attempted. You hear? Me ain’t name donkey so don’t try fo’ pin no tale pun me!
