I've always found the following helps with broken packages on a Debian
based system.
apt-get -f install
You can do man apt-get for more info.

If you do decide to take a look at used equipment and you don't mind
buying out of state I think that https://discountelectronics.com/ is a
nice place to buy equipment from.
I've bought lots of servers, workstations, and laptops from them over

Debian also has a package named basic256 which might work. It is
available in stable, testing, and unstable repos.

I noticed others provided links with help related to building Debian
packages, doing it the Debian way is normally quite simple but it also
might be worth looking DebianScience. The link below has information
about the project, links to mailing lists, etc.

I've only made simple presentations but here are 2 options.
Libreoffice can make presentations and was simple enough to do what I
wanted but can probably do much more.
I also use OnlyOffice from a nextcloud instance I have here at home.

As long as you have ssh access between the computers a decent file
manager should work nicely for this task. I know that NFS was
mentioned in the original post but I like simple solutions.
In the file manage on Gnome I can set a location I want to access using

The very first hit for me when searching for the terms below on

information for Ubuntu and also information for systems using init or
systemd.

Not a derivative suggestion but maybe this will help.
When you start the installer if you choose the Expert installation (I
believe under advanced section) or if you press the Escape key and type
expert at the boot prompt you can get a very minimal system installed

I use a VPN on my laptop when I am away from my home, well actually the
laptop is even configured to use the VPN even when at home and the
laptop is using our wireless. It's very handy and allows me to route
everything through my home network which I consider secure.

In an earlier reply I mentioned using a file to exclude things that
Exclusions can also be added to a file one per line, When using a file
listing excluded files/directories you would add something like the
following to your command line.
--exclude-from='/some/directory/excludes.txt'

We have quite a few customers who use osticket https://osticket.com
which is open source and can be downloaded and installed on your
server. It seems to work quite well and is fairly simple to set up.
They also have hosted versions but that doesn't sound like what you are

There are many variables and unknowns related to what you want to do
depending on how the original VM was built and installed. I have used
the guidelines below to do the same sort of things you are wanting to
do.
Modify the /etc/fstab entries so that they point to the correct new
locations.
I think that searching for tmux examples will provide you with the
answers you are looking for. The first hit (link below) seemed to
explain it to me.

You might look into the Meld application. It is file/directory compare
tool with multiple panes that works pretty well although it can be a
bit slow when working with large remote directories. It's available
via apt-get on Debian.

The tutorial at https://wiki.debian.org/OpenVPN is fairly easy to
follow and will produce a nice stable VPN although you will need to
tweak it some for specific situations.

Perhaps basic256 is close to what you are looking for. It is packaged
for Debian so it should be easy enough to check out.
apt-cache show basic256
