Stage one of Odoko's existence is to get Debian installed on my new Dell Precision M60. It is working now, but is lacking a few relatively important features: wifi, sleep, correct DPI setting, DVD access, sound. I expected that.

But, it has already come up trumps a few times, for example - I had a Colinux installation, hosting a virtual Debian system on my previous WinXP notebook. I wanted to access files from its filesystem. All I had to do was copy the filesystem file across, do losetup loop0 Debian.img, then mount -text3 /dev/loop3 /mnt/colinux, and I had the filesystem fully available to me. No real effort at all.
