Why are company's not certifying Debian?
Hi,
This is the response I got from IBM in India... Why are they not
certifying Debian GNU/Linux on their servers?
Is there something Debian as the organization can do to get firms like
IBM to certify their hardware on it?
Regards
Rishi

Dear Rishi,
Further to the discussion held please note that the IBM servers are
certified on Redhat and Suse Linux but not certified for debian Linux.
Thanks & Regards

RFQ for an 1U IBM Server
Dear Hemant,
The person that would be involved in the procurement would be Mrs. Sonali
Redij, Western Outdoor Interative, 28292466.
The technical specs for the 1 U Rack Server are
- 512 MB RAM
- Hardware RAID
- Disk Capacity Options: 36 / 73 and 146
- CDROM
- Pentium IV or XEON .. whatever....
Notes: I need confirmation that the following will work
- Notification on Mobile Phones / E-mail if and when the disk fails.
- OS: Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org/)
Please get in touch with Sonali regarding dollar pricing and delivery of
these
server configurations.
Regards
