10 links down on the home page
http://www.debian.org/distrib/pre-installed
- by now, everybody probably install anything you want
if you're buying in enough volume for them to sell to you
whether its done "properly" or not is a big separate issue
- proper partition scheme ( important for admining )
- proper packages
- updates
- non-deb upgrades
( i just saw exim.org is about 10 revs newer than sarge )
other stuff you have to tell them ( bad idea ) or
you clean up after you get it
- domain name, ip#, daemons on turn on
- some install for free... some charge $x,xxx or more :-)
watch out for those that install it "badly" and expect you to
call and pay for their additional "tech support" :-)
- things always dies after warranty expires
