Actually, I'd recommend staying away from potato right now. There seems
to be a problem with the initial run of apt (or whatever package retrieval you
use) that causes a bad libc to be loaded. I've not looked into any
workarounds that the developers may have found yet bit it is constantly hosing
a potato system I am trying to install at home.
The slink install went great and the one potato system I do have (server)
is also working great. Just the install is sucking. Hate it when apt-get,
dpkg, rm, etc all fail. :/
