I plan to buy an HTPC case and muck about building a NAS and perhaps
using it as a PVR/music player etc.

I like to have a read-only /usr filesystem. So I have ...
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50readonly-usr
DPkg
{
// Auto re-mounting of a readonly /usr

Post-Invoke {"mount -o remount,ro /usr || true";};
}
Unfortunately this works quite badly. Durin
