All the apt-get stuff can be done remotely - it's a good idea to make
it interactive, because package dependencies and conflicts could result
in you installing stuff you didn't want to, but it's certainly doable
remotely. The only thing you can't do remotely with Debian is the initial
install - and I believe people are working on an automatic install CD.
