My average exposure to Debian is more in it's off shoots than the base
distro.  This counts the Ubuntu chain, Raspbian, and Armbian.  I also had a
resource disk built on Debian which included Clonezilla and DRBL (diskless
remote boot in linux.)  For learning purposes I wanted to set up a box with
tftp to PXE boot other pc's to boot from it, however my pool of spare pc's
were older models which didn't have the memory resources need to operate more
than one or two diskless or "thin" environments at the time.
