I was under the impression that once it was installed on an HD it was basically Debain? 
on that note i notice that i can only access my usb Camera as root not
as an ordinary user this must be something to do with permissions i
notice i am in the usb group so not sure what else i need to look at.
Did an apt-upgrade on my home laptop had to do a reinstall to get the
pcmcia card working again this i think was my fault as i did not turn
off the pcmcia support when it said something about it during the
upgrade, this is how i get my network connection. no internal nic
