-<H1>Debian GNU/Linux is Good for Business</H1>
-
-<P>If sales of our last CD are any indication, use of
-<A HREF="https://www.debian.org/">Debian GNU/Linux</A> around the world
-is growing fast.
-We like to think that this is because Debian is a well designed, easy to install
-system.
-In particular, we have noticed that use of Debian by businesses has been growing
-tremendously. Use of Linux in business has historically been limited so this is
-a welcome change.
-
-<P>Below are some of the reasons that businesses have started using Debian more and more:
-<UL>
-<LI>The quality of free software has proven itself.
-<LI>Guaranteed access to source code allows companies to easily customize software.
-  and eliminates the fear that software will not be supported in the future.
-<LI>The growth of a large number of companies that specialize in supporting
-  Debian. In addition, many of the people who help to produce Debian
-  answer questions on the user mailing lists. You can't pay for support
-  like this from most companies, let alone get it for free.
-<LI>Ease of development. Companies that have switched to Linux have realized
-  much faster development times. Also, being based on Unix, the code is highly
-  portable and allows for more code to be reused in different projects.
-  Faster, easier development means lower costs and happier clients.
-<LI>Low cost. Debian essentially eliminates the initial cost of the operating system.
-  In addition, the cost of most of the add-on software that is typically installed
-  on computers in the workplace can be avoided. With many businesses putting
-  $1000 or more of software on each computer, the savings add up fast.
-<LI>Security. Linux is time tested and is becoming extremely secure.
-  It is already <em>much</em> more secure than any of the systems that Microsoft produces.
-  In the case that security related problems are found, there is usually a fix available
-  in less than a week. Again, availability is an asset here - it has been
-  shown that security through obscurity is no security at all.
-<LI>Reliability. Many Linux systems stay up for weeks or even months at a time.
-  Generally, they only have to be rebooted because of hardware upgrades or
-  failures.
-<LI>Interoperability. With Debian, you don't have to worry about interoperability
-  of machines. Networking is a fundamental part of the system, and using Samba
-  any Debian machine can easily communicate with your 95 and NT machines.
-  After all, we don't expect you to upgrade them to Debian all at once.
-</UL>
-
-<P>All these points can have a large impact on the bottom line - profitability.
-In this competitive market any advantage you can get over your competitors
-is needed.
-
-<P>Below is a list of businesses that use Debian in the workplace. If you would like
-your business shown here, simply send mail to
-<A HREF="mailto:webmaster@debian.org">webmaster@debian.org</A> giving your business,
-a contact address (both e-mail and snail mail, number of machines using Debian,
-and how they are used (development, classroom, ISP, etc).

-
-    "i start work this month at a german internet provider : they use

-
-6. David Welton &lt;davidw@cks.com&gt;
-
-    "The ISP's are good news, for sure, but what really impressed me is that
-    the people at the Linux Journal decided to go with Debian."
-
-7. Vincent Renardias &lt;vincent@waw.com&gt;
-
-    "Add WaW (www.waw.com), mostly Debian (6 Debian machines, 1 Slackware)"

-
-    "Sure!  I'm an ASIC design engineer.  My company uses Debian for desktop
-    SUN workstation replacements and also as a server for home directories,

-     "Yep. The company I work for, Open Software Associates (see www.osa.com.au
-     to see who we are/what we do :-), uses Linux quite heavily - mostly Debian."
-
-     Three of our software engineers (of which I'm one) use Debian solely
-     for developing our company's products.
-
-     We also have a manufacturing box, a dial-in server and two fileservers,
-     all of which are Debian 1.3.x installations.
-
-     (We also have two Slackware boxes, and a couple of Red Hat boxes.
-     Our US and German offices also use linux, but I'm not too sure how
-     many and/or which distributions, though I know the US guys prefer
-     Red Hat. I'm working on them however :-)
-
-     Our Linux boxes have always exceeded the stability and functionality
-     of all the commercial PC based unices that I have had to use in my
-     time here.

-     personal computing, as does my 15 year old son.  At work I have set up a
-     Debian GNU/Linux box to provide web and email services for our engineering

-     control applications in the coming year.

-
-     "Well, I'm very proud of what we've done with Debian: I work for
-     a multinational company and in the subsidiary I am located at (Venezuela)
-     we use Debian in 3 different sites (6 sites in the near future)."
-
-     In the main office the main server runs DNS, WWW, mail, dial-in (PPP/SLIP),
-     Samba, UUCP and news.
-
-     Another site connected with a leased line to the main office has a
-     Debian server that provides mail, DNS, Samba and bridging (with
-     IP masquerading) between the two LAN's.
-
-     Another site (in another country) has another Debian box providing
-     basically the same services (DNS, mail, dial-in, Samba, UUCP).
-
-     Everything is pretty stable and I have been able to upgrade all servers
-     to new Debian releases without even rebooting or being physically
-     in the same site where the server is. Pretty cool.
-
-     All Debian boxes are 100% stable. Availability is also perfect.
-     This contrasts with, for example, our Novell server that crashed several
-     times before I upgraded some NLM's (I don't know which one was
-     causing the problems).
-
-     The decision to use Debian (Linux) was taken locally. I convinced the
-     management to go with Linux and after they started to see the results
-     I got resources.
-
-     Thanks Debian, thank Linux and thanks Linus et al in the first place."

-15. Philippe Troin &lt;phil@fifi.org&gt;
-
-    "Other than at home, we use a debian server at work as a
-    SMTP/www/ftp/tftp/dhcp/DNS server and firewall.
-    I also tried to convince them to use Debian as fileserver, but failed, Linux
-    being ``only'' 25-30% faster over NT (eek!!!)."
