Hey, I don't need help!
Thanks, it has been a long time since first installs weren't horridly complex and I've installed distros hundreds of times, on a lot of legacy hardware since using my first distro in 1998, Red Hat 4.0. Devuan development has produced a stunner as of RC2, and I'm hoping to be using Devuan for a long time.
Told my buddies at USAlug.
ttyl!

Welcome aboard. 
That bit of info about GPT & Grub not liking each other is useful info; there is someone trying to install another distro on an old machine, & that could be their problem. If I come across their post again, I'll mention it.

Yes, and it's especially nice that (most) changes while live don't have to be repeated post-install.

It depends on the old system, I am currently using an x200 with some custom changes to it, (libreboot ftw!)
so yeah...
this machine is eight or more years old.
I guess my point is, it depends on how old/how easily it can be reverse engineered.
Black Lives Matter! I am white, but I prefer equality over hatred.
Haughtiness comes before a fall, pride before destruction.
Peace be with you!
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon!
