| - | I've settled on Debian Testing. This is probably going to be my distribution of choice for a Long Time. Especially since I'm at the point now where I can basically get around everything I don't like. Basically, Debian currently represents the best balance for me of doing the things I don't want to do myself, and getting out of the way so I can do what I want to do myself. | + | Perform a network install of Ubuntu 18.04. Mirror settings: |
| - | Once you've installed Debian Stable, you can change to Testing like this: | + | * host: mirror.narf.rocks |
| + | * directory: /ubuntu | ||

| - | * ''sed -i.dist 's/wheezy/jessie/;/cdrom/d;/security/!s/main$/main contrib non-free/' /etc/apt/sources.list'' | + | apt remove - isc-dhcp-* systemd-resolved |
| - | * ''apt-get update'' | + | apt install dhcpcd5 |
| - | * ''apt-get dist-upgrade'' | + | |

| - | There will be a few prompts you'll need to watch. I don't (yet) know how to make this unattended. | + | |

| - | * ''netselect-apt -sn testing'' | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Do that at least twice. It will generate a sources.list file in your current directory which you can (AFTER MAKING A BACKUP) install in /etc/apt. **mirror.rackspace.com has been fairly consistently the best option lately.** | + | |

| - | ''GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"'' | + | |

| - | + | ||
| - | ''GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet elevator=noop libata.force=noncq"'' | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | (So add "elevator=noop" to the default kernel command line.) Then run update-grub and, after your next reboot, your VM will be running the noop I/O scheduler. This is more efficient as it prevents I/O operations from getting re-scheduled twice by different schedulers. | + | |
