FAI	PureOS

↑ It's used by the FSF so it works
↑ Tested with the Debian instructions on Trisquel 10: after running the apt commands, we have a web interface available at the IP address of the machine.
↑ ^3.0^3.1 It's the distribution native configuration interface so it works.
↑ It was added by the distribution so it works.
