It is one solution. Though not for me. Hell I don't know what I'll do with 32gb of storage on it anyway. Also building my own packages when I need to seems to be easy enough for the most part using scratchbox.

Anyway found out a few other bits like don't change passwd to use a diff shell. Seems to just break it and so on.

I need to fix those instructions I've posted.
