Yep. When my disk died earlier this year, I booted an Ubuntu Live CD, pointed
/etc/apt/sources.list to a Debian mirror, and apt-get installed amanda.

The only problem I had was that some uids and gids on the Live CD differed from
my actual system, so some files ended up having wrong owners.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
