im doing a research

2000-07-17 Thread LêíGh
Hi! Im a student here in the Philippines and Im currently doing a research on 
the different Linux distributors including Debian GNU/Linux. And I am hoping 
that you could help me out.

I just want to ask somethings:

1. Since Debian is a non-profit organization, does that mean that you don't 
have any stocks information?

2. You said that Debian is free for all the people, therefore does that mean 
you have no prices for Debian softwares?

3. Who are your partners?

4. Who are your major clients?

5. Who are the supporters of your major products?

Thank you very much for taking time in reading and answering my email... I 
really appreciate this... Hope you could send this back as soon as possible 
because my research paper will soon be due... thanks again!! =)

Yep. (no stocks)

 2. You said that Debian is free for all the people, therefore does that mean
 you have no prices for Debian softwares?

Yep.  Download freely  free.  Burn your own CD.
Buy CDs from those who provide that service.
However you want to do it, but Debian, per se, doesn't sell software.

 3. Who are your partners?

The members of Debian (a.k.a Developers).  Software in the Public
Interest.
Have you included http://www.debian.org/ in your research?  Have you
seen
the link anchored on Partners?  It'll take you to
http://www.debian.org/partners/ .
On that you'll see honorable mentions of donors of equipment and
services.

 4. Who are your major clients?

Every one of Debian's clients are as important as all the rest.  The
bug reports of each one is as respected as the next: judged on content
only.

Since Debian is not giving any special deals to any recipient
of the distribution, nor for that matter, getting any money from any
such recipient as a precondition of receiving software, Debian has
no clients in the typical usage.

 5. Who are the supporters of your major products?

The members of Debian (a.k.a Developers).  See
http://www.debian.org/devel/
The upstream developers (Debian packages the software of others).  For
that, you'll have to see the individual packages.

 Thank you very much for taking time in reading and answering my email... I 
 really
 appreciate this... Hope you could send this back as soon as possible because 
 my
 research paper will soon be due... thanks again!! =)

If you're really researching Debian, you ought to check out the website,
and follow links. You'll get better answers there.  (At the very moment,
it seems to be down, though: very unusual).

Hello Lêigh,

I'd think that you'll find much more structured information regarding 
your
research than our answers if you go to the main Debian page
http://www.debian.org . Then you can go to the Free Software Foundation,
http://www.fsf.org and the GNU people, http://www.gnu.org . All people from
this projects are associated and you'll find there plenty of interesting
info about your questions.

Hope it's useful,

Ignasi


P.S. Tell Debian it's the best in your research, man! ;)
