now ditching the works in favour of Debian Sid ("unstable"). We'll see how that goes..

I now remember why I've never before stuck with Debian on anything else:

It's UGLY. Bog UGLY. I really don't know how Knoppix (a bootable debian-based CD) can look so beautiful when it's parents are so very, very, VERY ugly.

And all appeared to be going well (after dumping the insanely stupid GRUB loader in favour of LILO), but then all of a sudden it grew zits. BIG ZITS. The fonts became so ugly as to be unreadable.

Back to the installation disk for another square one attempt..
