Unless you *know* their systems support 64 bit go with i386. It will also make installation of some non-free 32 bit only software easier (e.g. skype). > 2: Tell them how to use the network install CD to install Debian sans > GUI. > 3: Tell them to apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies > 4: Tell them how to make Xfce be what runs when they issue the startx > command. Don't make things harder than necessary, there are dedicated CD images for each of the 4 Desktop Environments. Here's the link to the latest stable XFCE image: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso Besides installing XFCE by default this will also make sure the installation works if there are troubles with the internet connection. > 5: Tell them how to make iceweasel play youtube videos (I think today I > saw someone on this list say to go to youtube.com/html5 : Is that a > good solution in general?) No idea. I have it selected, but I also have flashplugin-nonfree installed (from the 'contrib' repository), so youtube always works for me :) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
