**Solo Staking Project - Day 3** 

OK it's built. Opened up the base unit, replaced the memory, took out the SSD and replaced with the NVMe, unplugged the Wifi card (going to be using an ethernet cable) screwed it back up. Done. Why do people buy pre-built NUCs?!

FYI I'm just using my TV as a monitor at this stage. The modem/router is positioned next to the TV so it's a logical place to keep the node and the TV works perfectly well as a makeshift monitor.

Installing Linux OS. The Rocket Pool docs suggest using Debian 11, it's stable and battle-tested so I'll go with that. Pretty simple, just downloaded the software and then created a bootable USB stick as per the instructions. So far so good. 

All installed fine. As per the instructions I'm disabling the GUI (graphical user interface) so everything will be controlled by the command line. I'm entering unchartered waters here, I've never used a system without a full-blown OS before. Wish me luck!
