The final task of the week was to get a usable system on my office computer. The old one had Windows 98 installed with an Internet Explorer that had trouble with the companion sites of the books that I use for teaching. Besides, MS does not support Win98 any more and I needed something without gaping security holes.So I opted for Debian and used the netinstall option, because the CD ROM drive would stop during previous attempts (don’t know why). Installation and configuration (including the printer) went smoothly and I am ready to roll on Monday.
