Greetings To GTALUG,

At long last I have created a final build recipe for my new desktop PC to run debian Linux. Replacing an ancient Dell PC running WIndows XP:

The configuration is an Asus LGA1151 socket motherboard with Intel i5-6500 CPU and 16 GB DDR4 memory..

A dialup modem remains to be added: US Robotics USR5637 V.92 USB Faxmodem

Comments welcome.

My plan is to be ordering the parts by Friday 30 March or or Monday 2 April at the latest. The HP PS/2 keyboard and HP PS/2 mouse are already ordered (from PC-Canada) but that order is still on hold, pending addition of items to the order..
