The project Debian GNU / Linux needs more support from companies . This is what emerged from a lively discussion at the Debian mini-conference held at the Australian national Linux conference. According to Anibal Monsalve Salazar
and Niv Sardi, two developers of the popular Debian distribution large international companies in the sector would be reluctant to support the project . Hewlett-Packard is one of the few companies to do so, while other listed companies much like Google, IBM and SGI, despite internal use Debian, do not provide any kind of support.
The project would serve men, money and infrastructure. Salazar wanted to add emphasis to the speech stressing that without the existence of Debian, Ubuntu and Xandros as some products would never have seen the light and would not have achieved success sales of which now enjoy.
Sardi also commented that Debian is not very attractive to companies because of the irregularity with which the new versions are released for distribution; with the support of companies would be possible for developers to maintain and provide updated packages fix in time more reasonable. In this sense, however, the Debian community has proved rather skeptical: the regularization of time-release is seen as a source of potential losses in stability and security, that has always characterized this distribution.
