As simple as preparing tea (actually, I’m quite bad doing it, that’s why I’m a coffee guy). You can install and configure your own Linux server with this CD.
It’s the last Debian Linux distribution, prepared for installing from the web. This CD enables you to install the entire operating system. It contains just the minimal amount of software to start the installation and fetch the remaining packages over the Internet either using analogue PPP dial-up or using an ethernet connection. This may be through a PCMCIA adapter on laptops.
