Sorry. I'll specify desktop and Alix from now on.

Yeah, I meant Ethernet cable.

I installed it and yes the Alix board is there, its IP address is 192.168.1.2, as expected.
I pinged it and it works.
I ssh'ed to the Alix board and now I'm in there.
You are amazing and your help is worth a lot. I already owe you some beers ;-).

Excellent.
Now, a few things you should do:
Use the command adduser to add a normal user account.
Re-login as the normal user. When logged in as a normal user and you need to do something as root, you can use the command "su" to change to the super user account. When done with your tasks you can use the command "exit" to drop back down to the normal user. Example: when logged in as, say sirri, and you might need to edit mpd conf -which only the super user can edit- you would su, enter your password, and now be the root user, as indicated by the # symbol after the shell prompt. That # is also a careful reminder to *very* *very* careful when your typing and executing commands. You can hose the whole system with the careless use of the rm command if you're not careful.
As root: apt-get install jed mpd alsa-base
Also, as root configure your locales as specified in the previous post.
Jed is a very simple text editor. You need it to edit some config files, such as mpd.conf. You might also want to add nfs-common to that list if you are goint to be using NFS for fetching your files.
