Finnix is great for some system administration. I think it's nice to use partimage from Finnix to clone partitions, and that's somethind that I do quite often. But it would be even better if Finnix could include partimage-server. I guess it's available from debian repositories, and it allows one to clone partitions to another computer in a network, so, if a computer is acting strangely, I can clone it's partitions to another PC in the network, no DVDs required. So: why not include partimage-server.

The package isn't that big, so it's certainly a possibility. But looking at it, it looks like it creates server keys at install-time, so it'll take some work to make it generate the server key at init.d start time (ala openssh-server), so each Finnix run by different users won't have the same keys. Doable, and I'll put it on my to-do list, but in the meantime "apt-get install partimage-server" is your best bet.
