need advice on remote installation of Debian
i am living in a remote country and our main branch is in US where
hosting is very expensive. it is almost costing us $4000K for a kind
of setup we need therefore being a small company we decided to build
our own hosting platform for our virtualized environment just for
demoing our application to our customers and server will be reside in
US office. now what is coming in my head is how will i install debian
remotely.
Since we have 1 technical resource their with almost no Linux
experience so i think for just installing Debian squeeze i had to
spoon feed him from very basic which i don't want.
an idea comes in my head and how practical is it. that is where i
need your advice.
i am planning to create a bootable USB stick from Debian squeeze and
then i will take the backup and send it to US office where he (our
tech guy) just has to use clonzilla or any other image software to
restore that data on another same space USB. and then has to boot the
server from it. after all that i will definitly get (pre-configured)
ssh console. i will further setup the local hard drives by he help of
consoles.
does it sound good. or i would face any issue in long term. if you
think it is fine. then my question is how. i never done this before
and easy to implement advice/suggestion will be highly appreciated if
any.
Thanks.
Yousuf
