- Another peculiarity of Debian is the option to create dedicated chroot environments, which may be essential for security-sensitive administrators. Debian's [[Debootstrap|debootstrap]] tool creates such easily, also in subdirectories of other Linux distributions. Together with the dynamic package management, this renders Debian a prime candidate for the creation of virtual hosts with arbitrary Linux distributions or - maybe more interestingly - on Windows machines running [[Xen]], [[http://www.colinux.org/|coLinux]], [[VirtualBox]] or [[VMware]]. Also, the frequently distributed [[LiveCD]]s of Debian may help bringing functional BOINC installations to the masses.
