Hello MJ Ray,

Am 2012-02-16 17:35:47, hacktest Du folgendes herunter:
> 1. what prevents SMEs from using debian more?

RedHat, Novel/SuSE, Mandriva and maybe Canonical, do active publicity of
there services.

Not the Debian Project.

I think, because Debian has no commercial  background  and  each  Debian
Consultant has to do its own stuff, Debian is lesser  popular.   Me  and
some other Debian Consultants offering full service,  but  unfortunately
no one know it.  I for my self have not the financial background  to  do
the "big" publicity, which mean, I work only local in a very  restricted
area.

Maybe split the Debian Consultants List into categories whioch  services
they offer and what they do.

I think, it would be better, having a database driven Debian Consultants
page with tags for each consultant...

Note:  I am also offering Web- and Database-Hosting and I am specialised
       to PostgreSQL sind more then 10 years.  Also Intranet-Web-Design.

Such infos should be on the Debian Consultants page too, because  it  is
frustrating for a customer, to contact 10 Consultants and get  always  a
negative answer because he/she need a special service...

The Weblinks are OK, but if somone need a special service, he/she should
find it already on the Debian Consultants page by entering some keywords
in a search form

> 3. who's reading this list these days?

Me. Michelle Konzack, using Debian GNU/Linux since March 1999, and being
Debian Consultant since 2001 by starting customized  Intranet  Solutions
and today the whole service the Debian  Repository  can  offer,  except,
that I refuse to work with KDE/GNOME.

You are very well known.  ;-)
