Massive scale installation and management tools for Debian GNU / Linux (part 1)
,----[ Quote ]
| You have 5,000 or 50,000 machines to install and manage across the country,
| at a thousand distant locations into your enterprise.
| Such massive GNU / Linux installation and management for corporations needs
| suitable tools or become a nightmare.
|
| Debian GNU / Linux has some options, that can even be used for other
| distributions.
|
| It evolved its tools since 1993 to ease the sysadmin work.

An evolutionary change to the Debian source package format
,----[ Quote ]
| I look at this as very much of an evolutionary change, not a revolutionary
| change, to the debian source format. Most packages will continue to
| use .diff.gz for a long while, but packages whose maintainers chafe under
| that format will have another one to choose from.
