Yes, running Debian Jessie 8.10 or whatever is the most recent update. I was wondering about how to format root. I am used to ext2 for root partition from older Ubuntu versions, but I see everybody using ext3 or ext4 now, so this might be part of the problem. It is 32-bit because I installed a new motherboard, and that is all that was available for cheap. I've always run 64-bit before. Any quick commands to find out CPU, chipset and gfxchip? And yes, some of it is old (I did say it's a Frankenstein), but my motherboard is pretty new.
