I follow in your footsteps.  My plan was get the computer working
first,
so
I know for sure what holes I need to make in the box, before I get
started
on it.  I used Debian Jessie, which is the latest version of Debian and
then installed the special simH Oscar made on top of that.  It boots
into
simH but you can also get into the GUI mode, has WiFi networking.

Don't neglect the PiDP8 forum, some good experience information is
posted
there.
Noteworthy is a mod to make the lights more realistic which I want to
try
soon.
