Is there a #linux-based #container image out there that I can run with #docker and to which I can ssh and perform basic shell commands?

Alternatively: is there an easy way for me to start a container from the debian image such that it stays up and I can log onto it and use it?

@eibhear `docker run -it debian:latest` will give you an interactive shell; `docker run -dt debian:latest` will start one and leave it running in the background, to which you can connect with `docker exec -it name_of_running_container bash`

@jmason Thank you. That was exactly what I needed.

And now I am going out the back to hit myself over the head with a shovel for being so stupid not to realise that -t would have done the job.
