    the server you buy, is herein "blessed/certified to work with debian"
            - see the incompatibility list as what was previously
            posted for what is known NOT to work

    3x the costs of the parts to get the "paper" with a fancy logo and marked
    up invoice :-)

    - hey it's friday here... ya know... :-)
