Opinion -- At a recent Australian Linux conference, Sam Varghese reported that two Debian developers pointed out that the Debian Project needs more corporate support for "men, money and machines" to advance the operating system.

They're right. It does. They also pointed out that many companies, such as HP, IBM, Silicon Graphics and Google, either use Debian Linux internally, or actually incorporate it into products. For example, HP uses Debian "Etch" 4.0 in its new t5735 thin-client device. Right again.

Debian, either directly or through related Linux distributions such as Xandros, is used both by Linux enthusiasts and Fortune 500 companies.

muy interesante el articulo, y extraña la actitud de la comunidad de desarrolladores de debian de mantener libre de soporte economico de empresas a Debian e incluso de dejar de trabajar por el simple hecho de proponer un pago a dos de sus administradores por su esfuerzo

y la conclusion del articulo

If you want Debian to behave in a more businesslike way, if you want companies to support Debian, what you really need to do is to break away from Debian and make your own distribution on a more traditionally organized basis. This, of course, is exactly what Mark Shuttleworth did when he founded Ubuntu in 2004.
