It starts to seem that buying this Pine64+ was total waste of my time and money. I was hoping to replace my RPi3 with Pine to get better network speed but if there is no working Debian base image to use I'm going to dump this project. I was already disappointed about that the newest usable kernel was from the age of the Flintstones. And when I tried to update that Debian Base installation with aptitude it wanted to update all kind of left over grab from late Mate installation. So not even Pine's Debian base image is not free from unnecessary GUI stuff.
I also don't want to start my own Linux From Scratch project using UART/COM ports to get linux installation done as seems to be case with those images Androsch proposed. It's been 25 years since last time I had to use COM ports to connect computers and I'm not going start it again now.
Thanks anyway for all those who had the patience to answer my questions.
