Hi William,

> the first thing I would do is remove Ubuntu and install Debian.

The Ubuntu version of the Intel Compute Stick comes with 1GB RAM and 8GB of Storage, while for $23 more, the Windows8.1 version comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB of storage.

It might be a better deal to spend the extra 23 bucks and replace Win8.1 with Debian.

cheers, Ian.
