Re: Debian Jessie : regular console instead of a hi-res one!
TL;DR (Too Long, Didn't Read)--I didn't anticipate ever using that little
abbreviation.
Anyway, my only reason for writing is to suggest (to the OP) that he consider
using a fairly inexpensive digital flat screen tv as his monitor. I currently
use a 1080P 32" T that I bought for under $200 (on sale, somewhere, sometime,
probably either Newegg or TigerDirect).
It has something like 1920x1280 resolution (which is enough resolution for
me)--lets me easily set up two large windows side by side on the screen.
When I installed Wheezy, iirc (some years ago), fonts were pretty good (i.e.,
plenty big enough) with little or no intervention. When I recently built a
Jessie machine I did initially get some very small fonts and I had to do some
adjustment.
Things too small on a 32" TV--get a 40 or 48 or even bigger TV (although the
expense does go up)--again on sale, about 2 years ago I found a 48" TV for
about $250.
