Yeah, I got it to boot up, but I couldn't get into it, and I got no
guidance
on upgrading it, so it was a non-starter.
Anyway, I got Debian 11.7 installed, I just have to set up the WIFI again.
Last time I did this, it was on the same i386 machine, but on a 32 gb SD
card in the card slot.
I wanted to put a good working image on the internal 4 GB SSD and then
make
an image of it, so I can restore it if I need to.

Vinux 2.1 CLI Max is based on Lenny Debian 5.0.10, it's a x686 32bit
system. Works fine here.
Vinux 3 and later are all based on Ubuntu and are (sadly) Graphic User
Interface. They have the Command Line Interface of course, but they
have a GUI already installed.
