Also interesting is http://grml.org , a live CD based on Debian sid
(with some install-to-HD scripts) "...for system administrators and
users of texttools".
It's what introduced me to Debian (and a lot of great software!).
A framebuffer console w/ GNU screen as a textmode "window manager"
has been my primary setup for the past few years. Just wish I could
toggle over to a VT running a graphical web-browser... but the X
Windowing System does not play nicely with the framebuffer console.
