Linux Magazine ( http://www.linux-mag.com/ ) wrote a good article about how HP is using Debian as a "standard" linux (March 2002 Volume 4 Issue 3). You should also mention Debian's security policy, and ease in upgrading via apt-get dist-upgrade. I believe some other distributions are trying to use apt now as well ??? Another point to bring up is the true freedom that Debian provides, not only from cost but from proprietary software. (==timothy==)
