Certainly a good way around the problem, but not for the size clients 
I'm dealing with. To have an extra box onsite 24x7 for the 
once-every-six-months or so upgrade. Not feasible. And not the sort of 
burden I would put on the client. They pay me so they don't have to do 
such things.

Yes.

But when I wrote "Debian" I was thinking "Ubuntu, Mepis, Xandros, or 
Libranet". Or otherwise pronounced as "Debian without the overhead".
