-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My take on this is that we are talking about a pre-defined default for a presentation. So, something like "Apache Performance Tuning with Debian stable". Other distros are welcome but the examples, documentation and "expertise" will be Debian centric.
I also expect this to be driven by the lead team for this particular workshop, especially if there is prepared material (prebuilt VMs, handouts, etc.).
