Hello reader. Since this project has only just been approved the hardware component is still, presumably, a long way from Australia. In the mean-time I'll need to emulate everything. So, what have I got to work with?

- My host machine is an AMD Athlon64 3200+ with 2GB RAM
- The host dual-boots Debian Testing i386 and Debian Testing AMD64
- Currently downloading the netinst CD for Debian PowerPC from here: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/

Next up - testing the performance of Qemu against PearPC. If you're reading this and can suggest a better emulator, let me know.

[edit] - Of-course, I should have been downloading the Etch netinst CD here: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
