Debian
What do you like best about the product?
What I love about Debian, is that the virus problem does not exist, I have more than 3 years of experience, working almost daily with Debian. I have not found a file that can not be read or manipulated even if it has a computer virus. Regardless of whether I have a virus file because I have been working on Windows, only this detail makes me want to Debian. In my case I consider myself a programmer who loves to do my processes and not use the routines already done, with debian I can program my routines and tasks for the operating system, I can modify the existing ones to adapt them to my needs
It is ideal for those who perform administration services, such as IP allocation, user license management, web services, database services, among others.
For these reasons and many more I love Debian.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Debian is the installation of its packages, some programs to install them must be an expert, since it has many dependency problems installed, which causes the person in charge of the installation of the programs to lose a large amount of productive time, trying to execute a program by locating each unit separately and installing it. Another aspect that I do not like is that its graphic interface is very unattractive, if I have already worked with Windows or Mac, although in the latest versions it has improved, but nowadays it is still unattractive, which makes the desktop worker feel uncomfortable Another aspect, although it could be seen as an advantage, they updated their systems and programs compatible with Debian almost daily, but this forces the technicians to update each command so that their programs are more efficient and consume productive time. work
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is to be able to efficiently use the computers of the Ministry since most of them have an outdated hardware configuration, Pentium IV, core-duo. Debian allows machines to be used to perform desktop jobs, such as working with text editors and spreadsheets efficiently and quickly.
For the administration of the operating system service, Debian makes it very easy for the people in charge of those tasks, facilitating the proper use of the Ministry's information platform.
Another aspect that generates benefits is that the software is free and there are no limits for the user to use it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it for those organizations whose computers have hardware configurations with few resources or obsolete that generate problems for users to run office programs and other installed software. Also for those companies that want to install and manage their IP allocation services, manage their web domain, control the security of their users, offer database services, among others. I would also recommend it Also for those companies that want to save money, in not buying licenses and that allows you to have no user limitations to use the operating system
Best Linux experience and performance
What do you like best about the product?
· A lot of Linux distributions are based on Debian (Ubuntu e.g.) so it exist a great bunch of packets perfectly suited for this distro.
· Good performance both in graphical and terminal enviroments (Lighter than Ubuntu, for example).
· Very easy to install.

· Very easy to install.
What do you dislike about the product?
· Maybe more difficult to start with than Ubuntu, because it dowsn't have "Store". Nevertheless, it is only a small effort to put all on the go.
· GUI is a bit "old fashioned" compared to Ubuntu, but easy to change.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using Debian as my standard testing Linux distribution for TCP/IP protocol stack behaviour and DNS, DHCP, LDAP, etc. server configuration. I realized this distro is perfectly suited for terminal usage, because all this tasks were done easily only on terminal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If this is your first experience with Linux, maybe you should try Ubuntu first, it's easier to start with it. Well, of course you need to know if you want a Debian-based distro or a Red Hat one, but I suppose you have it chosen if you are reading this. Nowadays, from my point of view Debian is better than all of derived distros, so you won't chose badly.
The maximum stable multipurpose server
What do you like best about the product?
This cannot be achieved on Windows. For servers, private laptops, mail servers, etc., the operating system conversion is continuously carried out within the appropriate path. And thanks to the network, we can find assistance anywhere and even in French, many tables and clients, in addition to educational moving images, allow you greater control of Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, I have no issues with the operating system of the machine running Debian. I always have problems with the Ethernet ports, I don't understand why. This makes it especially obvious within the kernel and in the environment of computing devices. It requires prior knowledge in Linux to be able to use the machine running on the Debian console, which it currently does not have. It already has some famous packages, for them those famous programs are changed, to mimic the functionalities of those previously defined, which include Word, Excel, replaced by loose packages among specific software programs. Currently, I have no objections with the operating system of the Debian machine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a low-cost method to have many servers at your disposal. Currently in our company, it is used in the server environment, with applications that include SFTP servers, for the management of essential documents, stability, and fluidity. We have considered using Arch Linux, yes, due to some issues that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies, etc. when updating, it is a horror, but still, it is too difficult to transport everything. The wait time for updates or stable version releases could be very long. Currently, we use Debian for our virtual servers that are activated in an extraordinary variety of offerings, such as SFTP servers, Internet servers, and anti-DDOS rules with IPTABLES.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please, strive for the MATE computer device environment. You can implement Debian on almost all cloud platforms and the mindset is conservative enough to ensure the stability you need for a business. To try it, they are miles to undertake it. You can install Debian on almost all cloud platforms and the mindset is conservative enough to guarantee the stability you want for a commercial enterprise.
The great mother of the Linux distros
What do you like best about the product?
Well, I use Debian MATE as my personal workstation at work and at home. Also, I work at a company where we ship software along with Debian and SuperMicro servers. The maintainers of Debian are doing a really good job to keep up with maintaining compatibility with old packages.
This was the first Linux I installed, but it was too big for me. Now I realize it's very easy, but maybe painful to new users.

What do you dislike about the product?
The time you have to wait for software (for example, VLC) to update. You install them outside the package manager that can break dependencies. It's the way the distro is meant to, but it feels very far away from the new packages and updates.
I always have had problems too with ethernet ports, I don't know why. I use TP-Link cards usually and I always have to spend a lot of time fixing these types of errors.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are shipping software for the autoconfiguration of CPEs (GPON home routers, basically). My team is writing software in Python, Bash, and Javascript. The benefits are the stability. We have considered using Arch Linux (yes, due to some problems that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies etc when upgrading, it is a horror) but it's still too much hard to move everything to Arch. Now along with Ansible, we will make Debian even better, and we are happy with it. We are still using Debian 8 but we're targeting version 9.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please, try MATE desktop environment!
Debian is my server OS
What do you like best about the product?
Debian is stable, with a great community, you can find 'how to' for whatever you want, it is perfect as a server operating system.
It is an old distribution with many users and contributors around the world, and it is used as base for big desktop (and server) distribution like ubuntu.
You can easily follow the upgrade of the system without needed to install again the whole system.
You can also find experts to help you if you need training or services.
And it's free !

What do you dislike about the product?
If I need to dislike something, sometimes for the stability purpose some software are kept back to an old version and we need additional repositories to enjoy new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every time I need to host a service I use debian as my OS, websites, services like xmpp, or email server.
It's free, when you have learn to use it, it costs you nothing more, it's a huge business quality.
You can spend more money on human resources instead off paying big prize for licenses when you can have one of the best product for free.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a really good, stable and followed operating system you can go with debian blinded, it is not the most simple as desktop OS, ubuntu, based on debian is great and you are with a derivative, so debian is still here.
You can easily work under debian in a virtual machine if you work as a developer and automate a lot of thing with ansible (and vagrant for the development environment setup).
You can deploy debian in almost all cloud platform and the mentality is conservative enough to assure you the stability you need for a business.

debian stable packages.
What do you like best about the product?
I like debian because it is available for more architecture of processors, as much as 32 bits as 64 bits, has the ability to have very stable and robust packages, is highly customizable and has a higher performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
debian you do not have some popular packages, for them in their repositories those popular packages are replaced, to imitate the functionalities of those described above, such as word, excel, is supplanted by free office packages among other software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in the company we use debian in its server version, to deploy web services platforms and file transfer systems, working up to the moment in a very stable and secure way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
debian surpasses all distributions so well integrated are your ki packages I highly recommend, use it you will not regret it.
one of the best servers
What do you like best about the product?
what I like about this operating system is the great capacity of stable compiled packages, with respect to the different operating systems of this type of open source, the adaptability of its kernel is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
must be immersed in the world of consols of this type of system a user from 0 is a bit difficult to learn and even more if it comes from an operating system such as windows, to use external devices must be mounted by console as they are in the case of servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we currently use debian 9 for a web page platform, confiding their iptables to mitigate DDOS attacks, it should be noted that it is very stable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although not all window applications are available for debian, for the server environment is still one of the most robust and stable, I highly recommend using it for web applications, and ftp servers, sftp etc .
