# What does this give me?
## Packages
Debian live stable configured with backports, the 'hibbian' repo and an LXDE
desktop. It has every debian hamradio package (apart from svxlink, as that
seizes audio and ruins things) and linbpq currently installed.
It pulls the newest package either from the Debian repo or hibbian repo.
## Persistence
Persistence is enabled because I think it's the coolest thing. If you have an
ext4 partition on any drive attached to the PC labelled 'persistence', you can
ensure the system will use it to store data like updates, config files etc.
It allows you to update the core system at a later date and start/stop the
computer without losing data between restarts.

# Caveat Emptor
There are some caveats:
## Cache
I run `apt-cacher-ng` on my system to keep packages required close. You may wish
to do the same. If you do not, run remove the following line from `auto/config`:
`--apt-http-proxy http://127.0.0.1:3142`
I run `apt-cacher-ng` on my system to keep packages required close. Instead of
defining it here, I have a central config file for live-build that ensures I
always do it. You may wish to do the same, it saves time.
## Beta
This is testing and I might migrate to KDE someday soon.
That's it so far. More will appear no doubt.
