Lightweight, straightforward linux distribution
What do you like best about the product?
It can be run on just about anything. We have plenty of old computers to continue running Windows, but found new lives running as Debian-based servers.

We need to use Docker to run most of our applications. Debian is the most efficient way to run these Docker containers. Also, we have old computers that do very well when running Debian as a CLI-only OS.
