Debian and its clones "I read about Steven J. Vaughan's article on which he tries to explain why you don't see as much corporate support in Debian as you see in other places. The conclusion of Steven's analysis, it seems, is that Debian is immature. I will attempt to respond to it from a Debian perspective."

the defense sounds right but the real deal here is that IRL, companies generally choose SLES and RH[EL|AS] *because* of the corporate support.

It's just what we in our consultancy jobs see.....

Also, some people think that debian and their offspring is somewhat overrated when it comes to their quality statements. As if it would be more stable, more complete etc. If that were true, you should think of why the corporate products are being used instead.
