July 16, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- SeverBeach (serverbeach.com) announced yesterday the immediate availability of the Debian GNU Linux operating system for Server Beach?s Starter Servers and Power servers.

The Debian operating system will be offered at no additional charge to ServerBeach customers. Debian is deployed on approximately 33 percent of GNU/Linux servers.

?Not only do we promise our customers quality hardware on a reliable network, we listen closely to their needs,? said Richard Yoo, CEO of ServerBeach. ?Many of them want and appreciate the two driving forces behind Debian ? technical excellence and the commitment to free software. We will continue to break ground by expanding our offerings ? commercial and non-commercial ? so our customers will get the best value and power of choice.?

According to Joey Schultze, press attaché for the The Debian Project, the operating system?s entry into the dedicated hosting space was long overdue. ?ServerBeach?s decision to provide servers running the Debian GNU Linux operating system demonstrates the growing need for free and stable software. We feel it?s important that the entire Linux user community have access to a high-quality, non-commercial alternative.?

Debian GNU/Linux is an open source, non-commercial operating system. It is maintained by over 1,000 Debian developers who collectively form the Debian Project.

ServerBeach was launched by the founder of Rackspace Managed Hosting last year to focus on the discount dedicated server market.
