+				<p class="intro">Debian is a fantastic linux distrubution that works, and rarely causes issues. Due to this, it is a common canditate for a server OS, and is what this guide will walkthrough how to install on a PC.</p>
+				<h2>Assumptions</h2>
+				<p>You have a PC/laptop with an internet connection<p>
+				<p>You have a PC/laptop/VM to install Debian to<p>
+				<p>You have a USB that can be rewritten with the debian ISO<p>
+				<p>You're on a network with DHCP (the typical home network will be)</p>
+				<p>Currently assumes you boot via BIOS, not UEFI (Will be updated for UEFI too)</p>
+
+				<h2>Download and Burn the ISO</h2>
+
+				<h2>Boot from the USB</h2>
+
+				<h2>Start install</h2>
+
+				<h2>Localisation</h2>
+
+				<h2>Network, and server name</h2>
+
+				<h2>Create User</h2>
+
+				<h2>Disk Partitioning</h2>
+				<h3>Preferences</h3>
+				<h3>Skip Swap (for now)</h3>
+
+				<h2>Scan Additional Media</h2>
+				<p>Unless you've addition drivers, etc. (You probably don't) hit <strong>No</strong></p>
+
+				<h2>Configure Mirror</h2>
+
+				<h2>Popularity Contest</h2>
+
+				<h2>Software Selection</h2>
+
+				<h2>Install Grub Boot Loader</h2>
+
+				<h2>Reboot, and enjoy!</h2>
+
+				<h2>Setup Swap</h2>
+
+				<h2>Next steps</h2>
+				<p>Now that you've got a basic Debian install, you'll need to configure, and install a few things. I've written a little something, somthing like that, so check <a href="/blog/initial-server-setup.html">how to setup a new server install</a></p>

+				<p class="intro">For those that don't know a static IP is an IP address that doesn't change on reboots, etc. The opposite of a dynamic IP, which can change on reboots, and is the default mode for computers to get an IP (via DHCP).</p>
+
+				<h2>Get your network</h2>
+				<p>If you don't know what network/range of ports you're on, check first by following the below. If you do, and this is a flash-card of sorts, ignore this section.</p>
+				<pre><code>ip a</code></pre>
+				<p>You can likely gauge from this, what network you're on, as most routers default to a single range, with the router being the first address on that range<p>
+				<p>So... If your <strong>ip a</strong> shows <u>192.168.1</u>.xxx (after the last dot doesn't matter), I assume your address will need to be <u>192.168.1.</u>x, and your gateway will be <u>192.168.1</u>.1</p>
+
+				<h2>Set your static IP</h2>
+				<p>Open up the <strong>/etc/network/interfaces</strong> file with your editor of choice</p>
+				<pre><code>sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces</code></pre>
+				<p>And edit the file to look a little something like below. If that's a little difficult to understand, read on</p>
+<pre><code>auto enp2s0
+iface enp2s0 inet static
+        address 192.168.1.226
+        netmask 255.255.255.0
+        gateway 192.168.1.1
+        dns-namespaces 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4</code></pre>
+
+				<h3>1) Set static network device</h3>
+				<p>Change the iface for your network device from</p> 
+				<pre><code>iface enp2s0 inet dhcp</code></pre>
+				<p>to</p>
+				<pre><code>iface enp2s0 inet static</code></pre>
+				<p>Substituting enp2s0 for whatever your device is called. This device will pre-exist in the file, but can also be found with the following command</p>
+				<pre><code>ip a</code></pre>
+
+				<h3>2) Add your network details</h3>
+				<p>Below the editted line, add the following, based on your network (slightly mentioned in the very first section)</p>
+				<pre><code>address 192.168.1.220</code></pre>
+				<p>This is the IP that you want your PC to have, the number after the final dot, can be between (inclusively) 2, and 254</p>
+				<p>Followed by (on a new line)<p>
+				<pre><code>netmask 255.255.255.0</code></pre>
+				<p>This is an assumption about the average home network<p>
+				<p>Then, again on a new line<p>
+				<pre><code>gateway 192.168.1.1</code></pre>
+				<p>Another assumption, but this is your routers IP, that traditionally sits at the first IP</p>
+
+				<h3>3) Add your dns details</h3>
+				<p>I've seperated this out, as this is a common point of failure for setting a static IP, so make sure this is gucci<p>
+				<p>So below the address, etc. Add this line<p>
+				<pre><code>dns-namespaces 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4</code></pre>
+				<p>This basically tells your PC where to look to find domain names<p>
+
+				<h2>Restart your networking service</h2>
+				<p>Now restarting your networking service (or entire PC if you so desire) will set your computer's IP to that in the <strong>/etc/network/interfaces</strong> file.</p>
+				<p>Simply use the command below, and voila</p>
+				<pre><code>sudo systemctl restart networking</code></pre>
