<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">NMGLugers, The install was Debian Stretch 9.3, using the Xfce desktop, which was either a default choice or the choice of the owner, I am not sure which. There are several graphical desktops to choose from and you are not limited to only one. We used the "Install" selection which is not the graphical install, but is clear and looks a bit "legacy" in style with selections highlighted in red on a gray a background which is easy to follow. The initial issue was to enable legacy boot as our flash drive boot loader needed this mode. The final product is a very usable graphical environment ready for a newbie user or expert alike. Adding audio and video support and other finishing touches depend on the the user. Only the wifi card presented a hardware issue, which was solved via ethernet connection and sorting out which of the several drivers was the right one. Debian Stretch is Debian Stable so there is support for several years and up-grading is smooth. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I have been a fan of Xfce over Ubuntu, called "Xubuntu" but the Debian install was so smooth that I have added a Debian Stretch usb to my toolbox, too. A subgroup of us have installed Debian Stretch on discarded iMacs and they work pretty well. This is via the rEFInd boot manager and usb install. The benefit is the rather nice screen and case, but limited by the older Core2(tm) chips in these unsupported and obsolete machines. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Thank you, Ted P.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 3, 2018 at 5:05 PM, Satsangat Khalsa <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:satsangat@khalsa.com" target="_blank">satsangat@khalsa.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hey Ted, Missed the meeting, it was 5:30 when I cleared work.
