Ah, excellent. Thank you very much for that. What an odd way to go about things. Very cack handed if you ask me. I enabled the ssh server during install but saw no option to disable ufw (it may have been there but I wasn't really looking for it). No open ports by default is fine by me but the screen nonsense is ridiculous. I have several old Dells (650, 860, 1850, R200, etc) & they're still very useful machines for certain tasks. Cheap to pick up too although the power usage can be a little hair raising.
