        Both. If you need to have a quick fix for a specific situation, use either, but be sure to have a contract, either with a Debian vendor or an independent organisation; if you want real knowledge, go for DIY.

        That just shows how little you know about Debian -- or how dependent you are on Oracle.

        Even that may change, as there are initiatives to get proprietary vendors' support to Debian -- Debian Core Consortium, UserLinux.

        Nice argument.

        Specially when Oracle depelops (used to?) on SuSE.

        What are you talking about? Novel just bought SuSE. They have years in GNU/Linux, even more years in OSs and they have now one of the most popular RPM distros.

        Could you be specific, please?
