In our co-op, that's not specifically a Koha question, although Koha does work well on Debian. We have many years of experience in both using and developing the debian operating system and various services and applications on top of it. We've also got years developing on other systems, but out of all the things we've tried, debian is what has made our life easier and made our users happiest, on average. We're not fixed on it and we'll work with various other systems, but it's my preference. Probably it's more generally used because with the various parts which all need to work together to support Koha (kernel, apache httpd, mysqld, zebra and so on) have all fitted together pretty well on debian for a while and upgraded fairly smoothly each time. The number of unpackaged parts needed is getting fewer and fewer. debian is also the product of "a massive cooperative effort" (then debian project leader Branden Robinson, speaking to Tux Journal) so it fits very well with our values and principles. > Most important, we would like to use the same OS for other open source > software such as Dspace and Greestone. Probably should ask them what they run well on, but I'd be surprised if they find debian difficult.
