Remote Debian install?

   Far be it for me to give a RTFM answer, but have you checked out the docs 
at 
<http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-preparing.en.html#s-linux-upgrade>?

   There exists a number of how-tos on upgrading Red Hat to Debian.  As I 
recall, most were from the RH 6/7 days, and I'm not sure if they'd work on 
later versions or remotely, but there are a lot of people who have gone that 
route.  Myself, I don't know what my confidence level would be in such an 
upgrade for a production server, but for a hobbyist-type box and considering 
any stupid move would have a max "dumb fee" of $150, it's worth a shot... :-)

   I agree wholeheartedly.  I had a job once where one of the benefits was a 
membership to NorthEast CU in Portsmouth.  That was the only thing good about 
that job.  I've used that CU for about 20 years, as I've lived in many 
states.  NECU had electronic banking (Sun-based) long before it came into 
vogue and I couldn't be happier with their fees and service.

   There's something about the way CUs are oriented towards their 
customers/owners -- compared to a normal commercial bank which is oriented 
first and foremost towards their stockholders -- that is simply a superior 
way of doing business.
