A weekend of learning about self-hosting, old computers, and the Permacomputing ethos.

In the course of the workshop, I learned how to reclaim potential e-waste via:

Installing Debian on MacBook 1,1 (2006, 32-bit Intel Core Duo processor) [ Model no. A1150 ]

The firmware interface in this models is 32-bit UEFI. Debian installer releases have UEFI support only in the amd64 ISO images. Thus, the Boot Camp-installed boot menu will not recognize the i386 netinst image flashed to a thumb drive. 

One _particularly tedious_ approach would have been to use GRUB to manually build a bootloader. Luckily, we can flash the 32-bit version of [rEFIt](https://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/) onto a **second** thumb drive, boot from it, and then use the rEFIt bootloader to load the i386 image from the first thumb drive.
