 There will be a reason.

 Raspbian, essentialy Debian for the Raspberry, I really feel at home, because
 I have been using Debian for many years on my other systems.

 It is quite easy. Find an Image, dd it to a 4Gb SD, plug the SD into the
 Raspberry. A USB keyboard and mouse and a hdmi monitor are handy during
 installation, I run mine headless afterwards.

 Yes 2:289/5006 runs of the 4Gb SD, it runs copy of my main node, without the
 news gateway, and a point system, as the mainsystem has no messagebase.

 The pointsystem is without a mailer, so only hpt and golded. It carries
 all the echo that pass here. With the sourcefiles for the fido software this
 all fits on the 4GB. It is now 90% full, so a move to a 8Gb SD is planned.

 That should not be to much of a problem. A dd from one card to the other,
 run parted to enlarge the FS, reboot from the new SD. Ready.

 Just for fun as I have no spare IPv4 addresses, 2:280/5006 is IPv6 only
 for incoming traffic. In line with that it exchanges it echo's only
 with Nodes that support IPv6.
