My info/instructions also apply to ExTiX Light. I.e. just log in as root (with password root) or extix (with...

I'm going to be also changing/removing some services like Internet, Phone to less costly. Even though that is hard to find just got to use less to meet the metered/costly situation in my country until Google Fiber reaches me.
