If your business has relatively unsophisticated administrators, Forrester recommends MandrakeSoft, Microsoft and SuSE, since all three of these companies "hang their hats on the ease with which relatively unskilled users and administrators can install, configure, and patch their platforms," according to the report. If your staff is a step above that, Forrester recommends Red Hat and Microsoft.
I wonder why Forrester doesn't like Debian. 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade' can be done by an unskilled user/admin. It was also the fastest of the Linux distributors to fix problems.
