These machines mainly do very I/O- and CPU-intensive image-processing using SPM and Matlab. Another server does FTP and SSH-accounting as well as serving as NFS-repository. We choose Debian because we were in need of a _really_ stable base for our research where even a small project takes an enourmous amount of time and nerves and of course because the ease of updating packages, security issues and the feeling of reliability and concept I got over the years using Debian personally.
