Hi ,

I will be administering all the servers. I can trust them, I just cannot 
have internet in that net. The number of servers can go up to 70.
Also servers are in different location with relatively slow(1-5 Mb/s) 
connections.

Do you see any drawbacks if I copy the 3 DVD of Debian 10 on each 
machine initially, mount them and use them if I want to to install 
something e.g nano at some point ?

Thanks,

Peter
