This page will describe the steps taken to get FreeLink and subsequently Lenny on my newly acquired Quad (LS-QL/R5). Think of it as work in progress until I actually get Debian on it. And at the same time, any comments or suggestions are very welcome.

Resizing the partitions
If you are not happy with the stock Quad disk layout, you can change the layout by unplugging the disk and inserting it in another machine.
Adding Software
The following software should really be on it afterwards (personal preference, I know). The packages are listed in brackets after the software name)
- OpenSSH (ssh)
- NFS (nfs-kernel-server??)
- iTunes Media Server (mt-daapd)
- Puppet (this is very much a personal preference, but I manage all my boxes with puppet). Other options are cfengine and chef.
