I believe Synaptic is installed. I did not upgrade but used Synaptic to 
install
the packages I needed but not included - lpd, xpdf. I found an Etch repo 
somewhere.

I ran out of flash at some point. I needed serial printers for a plant label
printer and could never get the RS232 printer working.

We have 10 or so HP thin clients and fragility of the flash data has not 
been an issue.
Instant on is not an issue and I missed that in your original note.

Good Luck.
