What's the relevance of Internet connectivity?  Where I work we have a
huge Intranet spanning dozens of countries around the globe.  We don't
have Internet access.  We do use Debian, must get it via CD-ROM, and
are responsible for protecting ourselves against "inside" attacks on
our servers.

Thanks,
