Re: Servers to rub Debian



One way to look at it is: if it works, it works. Just try it out. It's pretty darn likely that if those other distros work on Fujitsu PCs, then Debian will work.

Is your real issue that of support? I.e., are you concerned that if something stops working, that you'll be unable to get Fujitsu tech support because you're using an unsupported OS?

If *that's* the real issue, then you probably only have a few choices:
- go with a supported distro, even if Debian seems to work ok, or
- negotiate something with Fujitsu to have them support Debian, or
- accept living without Fujitsu support

Hi

I am wanting to install a customer machine using Debian. My problem is that we normally use Fujitsu PCs. They do not guarantee that any of their servers will run Debian. It seems to run RedHat; SuSE; Novell etc.

How do other people get round this?

Regards

Chris
