Debian now fills up 11 CD's with Sarge.  You only need the first cd to 
do a remote install.  One of the selling points of Linux is the ability 
for you to provide remote upgrades to their system, along wi you 
providing all the support that they need.

For instance one of my Windows clients is switching over to Linux for 
that very point.  When he needs assistance I can ssh to his network and 
work on his system.  I can also run his X apps on my system so I know 
what he is talking about.

With windows there is no remote administration and instant fixes for the 
client.  Thus you are able to save your clients time and money by 
converting to Linux.

With Debian you can make a heavy duty system with all of the bells and 
whistles like the kde desktop, or a minimum system firewall running on a 
p75 chip with 32M RAM.  the choice is yours.  I have an old P75 running 
as my mail server.

I might upgrade it to a P300 that I grabbed from a box I found on trash day.

Hope that you are sucessful with your clients.
