As someone who maintains a full distro on top of CentOS for a big
bunch of scientific workstations, all I can do is agree to this.
There are unfortunalty tons of reasons (mostly bad ones, but not under
my control) for which we are *not* using Debian (like Joss does at
EDF) but I can definitely tell that one can measure how well Debian
fits the needs for scientific machines.....when one tries to do the
same on top or rpm-based hell (including Scientific Linux).
So, I'm definitely convinced the proposal is good for developing
links, yes.
