How widely is Debian used for production?

I am seeking help identifying installations that use Debian in production. Specifically, for database servers, and ideally for web sites that read from and write to a database. To give some background, I've given some spare time help to a small company setting up a web site, helping them to i

Clock is incorrect, although NTP

Hi, I've a strange problem: my clock is displaying an incorrect time since today (I had an X crash this morning, followed by a reboot). The time now on my machine is 18:43, although it's 17:31. This makes me believe it's not timezone-related... I have the package ntp installed, with 3 ntp-servers

console AIM client

Wondering if anybody knows of a functional, and not too hard to use, console-based AIM client. Doesn't have to be in a .deb (I havn't found one as a deb, really) but it would be nice if it didn't require too many contortions to get it usable. Bonus points for using the toc protocol. I am not su
