Oh that's retarded.
HP themselves *USE* Debian internally for a number of things, as it was
announced that it was a company standard some time ago.
The giant left hand doesn't know what the giant right hand is doing...
If one frustrated user can make a "usable" Debian package for those
systems in an evening or two, HP could certainly do a "professional"
quality one in a week and test it in along with the testing of the RH
RPM's.
Their advanced Linux development group could whip up a proper .deb in
their sleep, I'm sure.
