agreed with that. But wait.. I have an idea if anyone is interested in
taking this as a learning exercise, there is this [NixOS] where we can
simply write a list of all packages needed in target system and it
will make the deployment in a couple of commands. Also we can share
binary builds in one system with other machines in [nix] way
(considering internet bandwidth in rural areas).


Let's compile a list of packages needed:
