[Xastir] OSM Cycle Maps are working again

[David A Aitcheson]

Lee,

I can flip back and forth between apt and aptitude now, and dpkg as well!

The 1 Mb/s ISP speed limit is what makes life so... um... uh... well you

The new machine is an i7 and is due to get the 4 GB of RAM upgraded to
32 GB of RAM soon so I guess you can say that a bright spot is on the
horizon.
