Back using Linux


Hi folks, first post here.

I'm not really a new Linux user, I installed my first Linux system when Debian still had a one at the top of the version number. Though I've come and gone with it. Last go I had was with Etch and was really happy with the system. I just never made the jump in finding replacements for my Windows apps so it ended up on the shelf for some years.

So now I'm back at it and I'm playing around with Jessie. Boy things have changed in my time away, grub, systemd, disk-by-ID, and all kinds of other advancements. Understanding how this new system works is going to be a bit more challenging. First thing I'd like to do is get the startup looking the way it did in Etch. I have a question or two about that I'll ask in another section.
