Hi Alan,
I read from the docs that "Landscape" is a competitor for Puppet or
Ansible.
You can manage your deployment of multiple servers in groups, and keep
their systems identical.
Just to clarify:

That is indeed the saving
I've been using Mint for several years now and been relatively happy.
I've also tried Debian and MX and installed them with reasonable
satisfaction.

Yes there are tools for that it is called landscape from canonical and it

the privacy reasons might be
Those five free licenses you've been talking about are five free licenses

The *BSD distros are also a fine choice: Great for "grandmas and web
developers"!
We recently got OSCAR EMR working on OpenBSD using the .deb install, excellent
enhancement to security.

Thanks for all the support for Debian.

Sounds very interesting. I also understand that this linuxwacom project
can turn your device into an input device to other graphical apps like
GIMP so the move of your hands is much more natural than whatever you
could you with a usual mouse.
I'm looking forward to see such demo.
Thanks
