Hi Simon, Charles, and all: I wish you had included the original poster's address so I could CC: him. We have used Debian since the 0.93 days for our servers in the department of computer science. We have a fairly large server (cs.wcu.edu) for mail, web service, and file service to both Lose 9x machines and Debian machines in a lab.
I use debian on my personal machines, unless someone pays me to use MS unstable-ware. "with debian, unstable = quite stable." --David Teague On Sun, 6 Aug 2000, Charles Lewis wrote: > We use debian all over this campus (routers, firewalls, mail servers, web > servers, samba servers, etc) and I know that they have at least one debian > box in the CS department. > > Charles Lewis, Director of Adminstrative Computing > Southwestern Adventist University, Keene, TX 76059 > (817) 556-4720 - phone (360) 397-7952 - fax > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > Folks, > > > > I am a Computer Science professor at American University in Washington > > D.C. > > > > I want to recommend that we replace Solaris in our Computer Science > > department with Debian.
