+**We want to get to get this completely automated**. The main tool for this will be Preseed files, of which there will be several. "Nuke And Repave" will become a single menu item.
+== Items About Which Nap Gives No Hecks ==
+These are technologies in which I expect never to have interest. Nothing's stopping you though. :-)
+  * Desktop environments other than MATE
+  * Distributions other than my favorite at the time, which will probably be Ubuntu until I make my own.
+  * OpenStack. Just no. (But I can keep a host aggregate here if it's not too onerous.)
+  * PCI passthrough for "Whole-host virtual machines" and/or multi-seat workstations. (I've sunk enough hours into it; my time needs to go elsewhere now.)
+  * (Nap: Add to this list.)
+== Nap's To-do ==
+I need to put a hard cap on this, and start paring things down. Use the resources I have to make disaster recovery and rapid (re)deployment as easy as possible, and then **get the fuck out of this hobby** because it **SUCKS** and I have dozens of other things I'd rather be doing with my limited time!
+  * Study the output of debconf-selection and make some damned preseed files! Every time you set up an environment, update your documentation!
+  * s/quirk/@providers/;
+  * fix the PXE environment if that's in any way possible
+  * Make the PHP-based sites easier to replicate
+  * Headless audio
+== Horsey's To-do ==
+  * System monitoring
+== Later or Never ==
+  * Rust (Once I have a complete prototype in Perl with tests and can guarantee unchanged behavior)
+  * CUDA (Once GPU math makes sense)
+  * email (:sob:)
+===== Getting Started =====
+Perform a network install of Ubuntu. Mirror settings:
   * host: mirror.narf.rocks
   * directory: /ubuntu
   * No proxy
-    apt remove - isc-dhcp-* systemd-resolved
-    apt install dhcpcd5
 == Essentials ==
+**WARNING: Don't do this on devices that rely on WiFi!**
 Take these, you'll need them:
+(except smartmontools on VMs--that will get handled automatically via preseed file, eventually.)
-  * ''apt-get -y install git vim lynx openssh-server lame autoconf smartmontools'' (omit smartmontools on VMs)
+  apt -y install autoconf dhcpcd5 lame lynx nfs-common openssh-server smartmontools whois isc-dhcp-client
+  mkdir /root/.ssh
+  chmod 700 /root/.ssh
+  curl https://keys.naptastic.com/david/naptastic.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
+Configure ssh not to allow password-based logins. Restart sshd. Verify that 'ssh root@localhost' fails. (You didn't forward your agent, did you?) Set a password for direct root login.
+== Networking ==
+The answer, somehow, is Netplan; I just don't like that answer much. The answer should be to //remove// layers of complexity, not add them. Just name my devices eth0 and eth1, dammit, or give me control over the naming.
+Some of my systems are using ifupdown, and some I'm not sure how they work, and some don't work right. Linux networking is fucking terrible.
