I bet. Definitely comes in handy when you don't have a GUI to mess about in.

I'm not sure what "all-free" means these days, to be honest. I thought Debian went "all-free" a long time ago, getting rid of proprietary software and drivers and instead using free open-source stuff. That was a while ago, though, so maybe things have changed.. or the definition of "all-free" doesn't mean what I think it does any more. :)
