Googling {debian site:hp.com} says there are about 23,100 results.
Debian has been a good OS for servers for more than a decade. Generally
if some hardware vendor makes any drivers available, someone will
package them for Debian.The point is, Catalyst isn't a distro war. Choose whatever distro best suits your other needs, and then just make sure your installation has a working Perl, either by installing the vendor Perl, or by building your own. Just remember that if you have RHEL the first of those options isn't. -- "It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle, effective as it is, cannot replace the effect produced by the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge, and the terror of cold steel." -- British Cavalry training manual, 1907 ::: http://surreal.istic.org/
