Woohoo! Congratulations!

Do you think you could create a little howto including the most
important steps necessary to get Debian up and running on the
ATARI?

I could add that to the Debian Wiki and make it accessible to
a larger user base. Also, please don't hesitate to spread your
experience on the Atari forums if you have joined any. This
will surely help draw more attention to Debian/m68k. There was
at least one other guy who had a Hades board which he wanted to
install Debian on but he needed help, so if you could write down
a howto, I'd gladly add that to the wiki.

Also, please install "popularity-contest", so more m68k machines
get counted :).

Cheers,

Adrian
