I agree that Debian rocks. I've spent a few years with different
distros to figure that out. However this is a decision made
by committee of people, and so business logic must govern
the decision making process.
The big difference between commercial and non-commercial
is obviously support and the perception that the commercial
products are professionally developed and more commonly
used.
For other things we could start the process with an RFP sent
to various vendors, but who could answer that for Debian?
So in place of that, we are looking for feedback from users
of Debian in busy server rooms that see things such as
1 million emails a day (most rejected by spam assassin),
and DHCP handling a MAC lookup of about 8000 entries.
Has anyone ever written a book like "The complete Debian handbook"?
The official Debian documentation has issues and doesn't match
something like an O'Reilly text or even a Gentoo Guide.
Is there a company that offers paid support contracts for Debian?
I'm thinking of these things to fill in where Redhat and Suse
offer resources to my co-workers.

Hm, much could be said, but it all comes down to that Debian just
rocks.
What problems do you see with it?
