There's a page over at the debian.org site which sums it up (not all of if though): http://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian I had some time (waiting for my system to finish compiling 2.6.17) so I did a bit of Googling around. Here are some potentially useful pages: http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Advantages_Debian.html http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/advantages.html http://www.linuxforce.net/debian.html http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/debian/server.html A thread from the archives that is somewhat older but maybe still useful (I am sure a bit of digging in the archives will turn up more useful information to build your case): http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/01/msg02044.html And if the opinion of a commercial party matters to your decision makers: http://www.dotnoc.com/debian-linux.php If you're coming from Sun boxes and you're used to jumpstart then you'll like FAI, which works especially well with Debian GNU/Linux. Grx HdV P.S. If you end up writing a text yourself, then it would be nice if you'd post it, so others in your situation could use it too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
