Clarif: of the 10 CPU architectures Debian 8.7.1 offers, we strongly recommend amd64 <http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.7.1-amd64-netinst.iso>. (248MB ISO) Though one could say Raspbian (the dominant OS for Raspberry Pi) is based on something like armhf <http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/armhf/iso-cd/debian-8.7.1-armhf-netinst.iso>. (261 MB ISO) And older x86 machines like XO-1 and XO-1.5 may run i386 <http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-cd/debian-8.7.1-i386-netinst.iso> !? (316MB ISO) https://www.debian.org/distrib/ Coincidence: quite a number of us expect to be in Montreal Aug 9-13 for Wikimania 2017, and by some alignment of the stars the weeklong DebConf17 is being held in Montreal the very same week, starting 3 days earlier (Aug 6-12). Those who want to arrive a bit earlier please keep in touch! https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17 https://debconf17.debconf.org following these instructions: > > https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/wiki/XSCE-Installation#do-every > thing-from-scratch > > > > > *Regardless, let us know how it goes!!
