If your goal is to create more complex environments that your probably want virtual machines (KVM, VirtualBox, Xen, etc.) Kind regards, Andrei
You first sentence indicates I may know even less than I thought I might.
To verify we are talking about the same thing: I'm envisioning a Debian repository on the "server". I will then use netinst to install Debian on the "client".Later a browser running on the "client" will be able to access an HTML page on the "server" or connect to a page on the WWW via dial-up.
Recommended client/server software for a newbie?
