# menhera.sh
Start a RAM Linux system (Debian for now) without requiring physical access to your server.
With menhera.sh you can:
* format your system disk or create RAID
* install a new distro
* do important maintenance or backup with nobody writing to your root filesystem
* ...
with only SSH!
"menhera" is short for "mental healer".
