YES! you can also note that anyone using Debian, Ubuntu or any other
derivative, directly or in the cloud or via virtualbox/docker/whatnot
pretty much already uses "Debian Med" ;)
to accent on that you could link to other educational materials you
could find online which talk about installing anything Debian Med
related, e.g. like our http://neuro.debian.net/vm.html which
includes pointers to few youtube videos on how to get started using it.
