Now that HP officially says it's doing Debian support, can we recommend
them to european customers of that order of magnitude? Are there any
other support people who could handle 10'000 installations?

Or should DDs at trade shows rather stay neutral and say: 'Debian does
no support, go find out yourself who does it'?
