My only comment - apart from to agree with those who commend that you
use the LTS version - would be this: I would never buy a Celeron and I
tell everyone, friends and clients, to avoid them. They are nasty,
crippled devices and anything with a "Celery" in it is probably
rubbish, in my not-at-all-humble opinion.

I'd rather have a cheap low-end but full-spec AMD or Via chip than a
Celeron. Yes, I know it's possible to replace a Celeron with a
full-spec chip, but almost nobody ever does & it's almost never an
economical upgrade.
