Playing with straight Debian again

My father-in-law gave me an old GateWay he had stored with Windows 98 installed. In it's day, it was a decent machine. I installed more ram, a newer Nvidia PCI card, resized Windows and created an xfs partition on the six gig drive for Linux. My first thought was to install CRUX but decided to revisit Debian which I haven't used in years. I downloaded just the first CD and did a very minimal install. After booting into my new installation I did: Code: apt-get install openssh xorg slim icewm ...then rebooted. Slim came right up, I signed in and there I was with an unconfigured IceWM desktop! Easy as pie! I've got more to do and configure on this machine but just wanted to pass along kudos to team Debian for making installation so very simple! :D
