LOL!  Actually, I did one better.  We got new development machines and I
installed Debian on them and got things running so well, they used the
machines for demos to investors.  After about a month of them using them
for demos, I THEN told them that they were running Debian (and the
developers and "big cheeses" were shocked).  Of course, the machines ran
better than the RH machines too and the performance was about 120% better
given what we were doing (heavy-duty dynamic web stuff in perl) :-P
