I think that as this thread has digressed, it can be seen that either
camp, Debian/Ubuntu, has their own beliefs. The takeaway seems to be
that you have to tailor your response to your clients. Do they seem
to be the kind that would favor one belief over another? Then you
make your recommendation fit them rather than try to mold them into
your dogma.
