Robert,
thank you very much for your 2 posts - very helpful!

I will now go buy the ASUS NUC box and install Debian from scratch, since Debian
is what both Ubuntu and PI-OS are based on and those are the only Linuxes I have
used.
I also have 2 Linux Mint's but that I believe is based on Ubuntu...

I have a lot of RPi devices around and I find that they do not differ that much
from Ubuntu (server) so I believe Debian will be the best choice.

All of my Linux devices are headless and if there is a Desktop access it is only
by way of VNC (RPi and the Linux Mint with MATE desktop)..
