Basically, your bosses approach is correct, in that any business should
not depend on one person to run (that is what all this quality
certification is about). It is generally known as the "fall under a bus"
test.
The best way to fight it is;
1 - technical arguments along the line that Debian is more secure (if it
is = no flame wars, I'm not interested)
2 - cost to the business of doing so,
3 - producing documentation that allows any linux person to maintain it,
4 - producing a list of Debian help resources,
5 - showing that you can sign a support contract for debian systems, e.g
I guess Linuxcare will do this.
6 - ask the boss to rate the priority and always have more
important/higher priority work that needs doing {:-), (but I didn't tell
you this)
