So, what new Linux distribution?

• We already switched away from Red Hat on our Linux workstations years prior due to lack of software packages

• Debian has many more packages than standard Red Hat (1500 vs 15000 then, 13500 (FC18) vs 40000 now for Debian testing)

• Fedora Core likes to test new linux technology, not good for our servers while Red Hat Server is much more limited in packages.

• Ubuntu is the new better Debian for cool kids, right?

• Well, kinda sorta then, much more debatable now.

• So we started with Ubuntu Dapper at the time, which we transformed into Debian testing as we upgraded our new distribution, aka ProdNG (we didn't want to migrate to upstart, nor did we like some things Canonical was force pushing into Ubuntu).
