    Hi,

    This is the response I got from IBM in India... Why are they not
    certifying Debian GNU/Linux on their servers?

    Is there something Debian as the organization can do to get firms like
    IBM to certify their hardware on it?

    Regards

    Rishi

    Dear Rishi,
    Further to the discussion held please note that the IBM servers are
    certified on Redhat and Suse Linux but not certified for debian Linux.
