The maximum stable multipurpose server

  • October 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This cannot be achieved in 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 now lacks. It already has some famous packages, for them those famous programs are changed to imitate 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 waiting time for updates or stable release variations 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:
You can implement Debian on almost all cloud platforms and the mindset is conservative enough to assure you the stability you need for a company. You can install Debian on almost all cloud platforms and the mindset is conservative enough to guarantee you the stability you want for a commercial enterprise.

The server is extra solid and robust.

  • October 20, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
The first-order aspect of Debian is the way it leverages assets. When you want to optimally use computer hardware, Debian is one of the high-quality alternatives. You can configure it to use resources in the best and most complete way. Whether it's exceptional software development for heavier IDEs or for virtualization, it has an excessive configuration capability that allows you to focus on the device for the task you need to perform, which is why it is one of my main alternatives when selecting an exceptionally functional machine. Additionally, I work at an employer where we deliver software programs on Debian and SuperMicro servers. I've even had issues with drivers, but in the community, I solve them in no time. If yours is to save money, you can have this system running as option number 3, the first is Linux Mint and the second Ubuntu. I have been using the operating device for years and have not had any major problems. I've had issues with drivers, but I solve them quickly anyway. If saving money is your thing, you could have this operating system as option number 3, the first is Linux Mint and the second Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
The change can also seem tough. Only the points of attention are the wear and tear on interoperability with proprietary software programs, generally those through the non-standard Microsoft Windows community configuration, such as proprietary report codecs from Adobe, Oracle, and Autodesk. The substitute can seem tough. The time needed to look at software like VLC to replace · The installation is difficult for a consumer without understanding Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, our employer uses Debian in the server environment, with exceptional applications along with SFTP servers, for the management of essential documents, the stability and fluidity that Debian offers in combination with the hardware sources of our IT infrastructure, is truly a huge correct combination for problem-solving in our company. This ends in an advantage in productivity and a tremendous benefit in the economic system. It is much cheaper than Linux for the market of different operating systems. We have considered the use of Arch Linux safe, due to some issues that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies, and so on when updating, it is a horror, but it is too difficult. Transporting everything to Arch for a new user will be very difficult, as it now does not provide instructions with Windows, which takes some time to get used to a Linux operating system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay unique attention to the needs of interoperability in case you rely on proprietary software. One of the fantastic Linux distributions, I quite suggest its use in server and laptop environments. One of the best Linux distributions. I fantastically propose its use within the server and desktop environment. You can paint under Debian effortlessly in a virtual machine in case you paint as a developer and automate many components with Ansible and Vagrant for environment improvement configuration. One of the greatest Linux distributions that I specifically approve of its use in the server and laptop environment. I extraordinarily support this operating system because it has very solid packages and its support community is very strong, they are always attentive and willing to help.

The great mother of the Linux distros

  • August 10, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

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!

Free and universal operating system

  • August 02, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Great community support, easy installation and management. Very stable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like any Linux, minimal terminal knowledge is required for its 100% use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Installed on many of the servers that I have implemented for all kinds of functions, even as a client in production

Total flexibility in OS deployments & configurations, no strings atqtached

  • July 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Users & organisations have total flexibility from source code up; only obligations are those inherent in free software licenses, usually applicable only if redistributing software outside of the organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike in Debian itself; only points of attention are attrition in interoperability with proprietary software, typically those by Microsoft (nonstandard MS Windows network configuration, for instance), Adobe, Oracle & Autodesk (proprietary file formats).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Several users needed a more secure & flexible OS for technical tasks such as Web or Java development, network management, security administration, servers &c.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not migrate wholesale, but start with servers & technical users. Pay special attention to interoperability needs if you depend of proprietary software.

Debian is my server OS

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Very efficient and stable operating system

  • May 08, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Security and stability is very important, so much so that other projects such as Ubuntu rely on Debian to build all its architecture. I recommend it because you do not have to worry about formatting every six months or for any pendrive with viruses, that does not exist in this operating system. I have been using the operating system for years and I have not had any major problems. I have had problems for drivers but thanks to the community I solve them in a short time, if yours is to save money, you can have this operating system as option number three, the first is Linux Mint and the second Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that you need to have medium knowledge to use it, it should be a little more friendly, maybe it is one of the secrets to maintain its high quality, but you should review that detail to gain more users. Another factor is the language, if you do not know the basics of English, you will have to work, although at present, with Google that is not very relevant but I would like to write that detail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The first thing is to rescue files that were lost when a virus fell on my other proprietary operating system. The second, being free is unlimited everything I can use. But best of all, forget about viruses and format, it's amazing how I can use the resources of my PC to the maximum.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are starting a business or project, this operating system can save you a lot of resources, because you do not pay for use licenses, it is one of the biggest attractions you have, you just need to get familiar and ready, you can use a stable and maintained operating system for the global community without paying a dime unless you want to donate to the project.

Debian the distribution of the free software community

  • May 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
is an open source distribution, stable and highly respected in the world free software community, has more than one million contributors and is the basis of many other distributions such as ubuntu or canaima. It is easy to configure and with many predefined options according to use: for servers, personal computer, mail server, etc. It is very difficult to include "back doors" because it has a large global community of programmers and users with access to all the source code of its components, which are continuously evaluating them. The support of a large number of members, companies that provide software for this distribution, makes it the best open source alternative for quick solutions, with great support from the community for the solution of installation, configuration or security problems of its components. It has 25 years of evolution and is, without exaggeration, the most beloved of the Linux-based distributions,. It is the precursor of the package management system that allows to install software packages with a high degree of reliability in the compatibility of versions of the components, which allows a high degree of reliability and recovery in case of failures. Thanks Ian!.
What do you dislike about the product?
the packages should be updated in less time, perhaps the policy of maintainers should be more flexible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all server for my solutions use Debian, the last is a web project with Django for e-learning
Recommendations to others considering the product:
for services that need an operating system with good performance in high availability, use Debian

Debian the best for the development new challenges????

  • April 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its greatest advantages is the high level of security and access control by roles and files, something at the level of performance when working with environments other than "Gnome", it has the need for an agreement that allows it to be Use makes it lighter than other operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its disadvantage is that it does not have all the latest generation PC drivers or its installation is complex and this makes it tedious for new users who want to explore in the area of free software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its disadvantage is that it does not have all the latest generation PC drivers or its installation is complex and this makes it tedious for new users who wish to explore in the area of free software. For a new user it will be very difficult since it does not share commands with Windows, which takes a while to get used to and can be adopted to a Linux operating system. The waiting time for updates or releases of stable versions is very long.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best thing would be to have updated repositories that allow the easy installation of drivers of the latest technology equipment and third-party software, making it easier to manage the operating system.
