I'm not berating people because of the Distro they Choose.
Peolpe will choose what they like.  What I'm trying to find is a way to
convince the place where I work, to let me use Debian.  These people are
computer illiterate, They are like sheep.  All they see in advertising is
Red Hat, so they assume that it is the best.  I don't want the Latest and
greatest packages if I have to sacrifice stability.  Debian is the most
stable system I know, so that is what I want to use.  My original question, is
how do I convince them of what I already know?
