Uh oh!!! Debian has non-free, yet RH (don't know about Enterprise,
though) from v1.0 all the way through 9.2 has *only* had FLOSS
s/w on it. Thus, to be pure, you should dump Debian, and go to
RH.

Or, are you a socialist (it's a free country*, after all), and
dislike free enterprise?

You've installed vrms, right?
