Hello Dashamir!

I find your proposal about the virtual computer labs with Debian
desktops and containers really nice! Besides the concept importance
pointed by Gregor and if you want to start exploring the possibilities
of the technical side, let me know and I will ask the resources if
possible to Debian Net Team,

Regards!
Jathan
