I believe that support for Debian is very important and is something that
should be investigated. However, I believe that it may be difficult to
combat an over-commercialized distribution if you start pushing for
professional 24X7 commercial support. The kind of support that corporate
business requires is of the commercial variety. List serves and news groups
don't quite cut it for the corporate world. But I don't see any reason why
the HP's or IBM's couldn't include Debian as one of the distributions they
support.

Hey guys,
I've noticed a lot of vendors jumping on the Linux bandwagon
and and
starting to offer support for thier system that run Linux.
But, it seems
that it is only for SUSE, Redhat, Caldera and TurboLinux.
WHY NOT DEBIAN? Is
it because we are not commercial? And if so, I propose a
Debian support
team. I love Linux and Debian and I want to see it grow and
live. But, it
seems that if only the commercial distro get support Debian
my lose
developers and disappear. This would sicken me! I believe
Debian to be the
best of the distros (I have used Redhat and Caldera).
Although it not what I
call pretty (graphic set install and adminastration), it is
far more stable,
flexible and all out better.
This is something that concerns me and I would hate to see
Debian lost
because of not being commercial.
Just thoughts. Any comments? Is this stupid or what?
Rod
