The primary difference between Bluetooth and WiFi is on the L2 level

The question of "WiFi or Bluetooth" has become moot. Not all of my
machines have Bluetooth.
The main challenge that I see in your setup is connecting the network
to the outside world.
Not a problem. My immediate project's goal is educational.
My learning style is experimenting. Failures are assumed ;}
My solution is to rigidly isolate test machines from internet.
Reading questions that may help:
How to connect two hosts using Bluetooth that does not require them to
be in a master-slave relationship?
Bluetooth may now be moot. But not having a fixed master-slave
relationship is important. {e.g. the topology/protocol described at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_area_network
which leads to "Wireless ad hoc network" related links starting at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad_hoc_network}
How to connect one WiFi interface to multiple networks? (If you find
out, please post the answer here. xD )
I have no idea of how to describe a test case. The above Wikipedia link
may suggest something?
What application-level interfaces will you use to actually *use* the
network? (FTP? Web? 9P2000? NFS? Gopher? gRPC? Whatever Bluetooth uses?)
Long-term - ?????
Initially whatever Debian defaults to when intentionally isolated from
the internet.
{I've never installed LFS but have found its documentation and lists
useful because of the fine-grained approach to systems.}
What do I want my "user-interface" to look like? Don't know ;/
The initial motivation for all this was to eliminate "sneaker-net".
I want convenient file sharing between pairs of machines more than among
a collection of machines.
