Dell OptiPlex GX150 (Fairmond)

A trial run of Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 using the GNOPPIX GNU/Linux live CD was attempted (25 Sep 2003). Booted just fine but the install to hard disk is still under development. Also trialled both the sarge (testing) netinst and the sid (unstable) install CD-1, but both failed. So used Debian 3.0r1 to install and upgraded immediately to unstable.
