Also interesting is http://grml.org , a live CD based on Debian sid (with some install-to-HD scripts) "...for system administrators and users of texttools". It's what introduced me to Debian (and a lot of great software!). A framebuffer console w/ GNU screen as a textmode "window manager" has been my primary setup for the past few years. Just wish I could toggle over to a VT running a graphical web-browser... but the X Windowing System does not play nicely with the framebuffer console.
