ATM it'd be stupid to recommend Red Hat for a large firm unless they had
an existing maintenance contract. Red Hat has recently announced plans to
allow only one machine per entity free use of up2date, Red Hat's weak
impersonation of apt. One machine just isn't enough to make a proof of
concept in a firm of more than about 50 people, and the whole point of
using a distribution is ease of upgrade.

There is an old saying that if a million monkeys typed on a million
keyboards for a million years, eventually all the works of Shakespeare
would be produced. Now, thanks to Usenet, we know this is not true.
