Nice. One step I would add is after restarting ssh and before rebooting while still logged in as root is to start a second ssh session, log in as the new user, and verify you can sudo. Your current instructions are predicated on success.

We cannot put software on the kind of assembly line/stamping process we can with say door hinges or other metal works that used to require a skilled blacksmith. That doesn't mean it won't happen some day. Stamping out software is what you

Leasing a car is not a good analogy because the difficulty and cost to switch cars at the end of the lease is zero (or at least well defined). Leasing a car is a fixed duration, fixed amount payment with both the costs and the duration fix

CDs are polycarbonate and are sold for $20 for a spindle of 100. At a pretty good profit. "Bullet proof plastic" is just marketing buzzwords. FWIIW, polycarbonate has to be quite thick to stop a bullet and is generally used in conjunctio
