Jamie, would you consider doing a KLUG presentation on apt & Debian?

A couple months ago I installed Debian on a HP Unix (PA-RISC processor)
workstation and was very intrigued by "apt".  (I chose Debian because it
was the only distribution supporting PA-RISC)

The few times I've installed Debian, I've found the install process to
be somewhat, ah, well, "confusing" ...  I would very much like to see a
presentation on the subject.   Thanks!
