I was really just curious about what the GUI would even look like on 
it. All that's been stripped away now as my application just needs a 
little processing, an Internet connection and a connection to an 
external device called a "Terminal Node Controller". This PC has more 
than I need plus it runs off 12 Volts directly making it easy to run 
off batteries in an emergency.

It was good for paring down the basic installation. I liked editing 
the "keepers" file better than going through aptitude. Besides, it's 
always fun to play with new toys!
