Debian is an extremely popular choice for a server OS, much more so than as a desktop, I'd say. And above all else, server admins want stable, predictable behavior. If you have servers that have run fine for years and continue to do their job, there's not a lot of incentive to upgrade them. -troy _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
