It depends on you "/etc/apt/sources.list" And, Debian has been an "internet connected" distribution for quite a while. It is all about th maintenance... I have a machine that has been hardware upgraded a ton of times. I have also tansferred this image around to many machine I use via liveCD, then tweaked it for that machine and booted it.
