Stock Buster Netinstall CD. I don't use UTC, but local time instead since at one time I used to dual boot this system with WindowsXP, and it didn't play nice with UTC.

I used the "text" install option instead of the artsy-fartsy GUI to install Buster in Virtualbox. Install went fine. No problems. I did both a basic terminal only system which I later added xorg and the Openbox window manager, etc. and a default LXDE desktop as another VM. I avoid GNOME like the plague. Stopped using it when I left Fedora 12 behind in favor of Debian some . . . what? . . . 7 years ago? B
