Dosbian is a free and opensource Linux distro for the Raspberry Pi that is designed to create a retro PC environment to run older games and apps from DOS era. It boots directly into DOSBox, a popular MS DOS emulator, allowing you to run classic DOS games and software including Win 3.1/95/98 etc. It is based on Debian. This is a good way to enjoy your older games or apps collection again or introduce your kids to older games that was part of your life once.

Observation. When using symmetric (password) encryption on files, #GPG is MUCH faster then #SequoiaPGP, at least when using the default CLI interface for each utility on Debian.
