I chose to work with Debian, specifically because that’s one of the Linux flavors we use at work. So installing Linux from a CD just felt wrong.

I haven’t owned a CD or DVD player or burner in years - none of my laptops have them, I have no gaming systems, and I stream all my media to an Amazon Fire TV running Kodi. Linux is designed to be installed from a CD-ROM, which feels so old-school to me. I’ve been documenting every single step of the process in my personal wiki, but I want to take select pieces from that and turn them into mini tutorials. My goal with this purchase is to learn a little bit more about Linux, play around with Xen a bit, and eventually create a home-base for all my media and files. I recently purchased a home server (Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 with Intel Xeon E3-1225).
