Dear Chillfan, I just discovered a quite serious glitch that I guess might already be known: upgrading Debian stretch to ASCII following the tutorial at the link above will not work properly, since stretch does not have a /etc/network/interfaces file any more (that's now deprecated in Debian). This means that an upgrade on a remote server requires the admin to create that file by hand first, and then reboot into sysvinit, otherwise the server will be unreachable after reboot (and might require a costly console intervention in some cases). We must put this fact into evidence in the tutorial, and add all the relevant warnings around. Actually, it would be better to have a script that creates a skeleton for /etc/network/interfaces, and then asks the admin to double-check it before a reboot.
