Debian and its clones Euronode released a web site which allows users to build pre-configured Debian GNU/Linux servers, tailor-made for their exact needs. Users can follow a simple web-based wizard to choose services (web, mail, database, samba, etc.), and options. Once done, the web site will generate a bootable .iso image, with all configuration and server parameters already set up.

This is moronic

I checked it out, and at 404 euros, this is idiotic. People shouldn't be so lazy. Especially when there are projects like SLAX which could do this free..with a lot more flexability. Amazing the things people think of just to scrape some money

If this given out for free, someday the number of Linux distro will surpass the number of Linux user.

You're paying for the service. Accusing someone of being moronic for using such is like hammering an algebra student for not grasping differential equations.
If someone can run a business doing this, then more power to them.
