One-Eighty Out, Incorporated, Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

We use Debian in the conduct of day-to-day business: for bookkeeping with GnuCash, presentations with Beamer and LibreOffice (which is our office suite), and conducting on-line research with Firefox. We utilize many of the Debian apps that aid in the display and manipulation of PDF documents such as Evince, PDF Shuffler, and Xournal.

For image manipulation we use GThumb, The GIMP, and Open Office Draw. For video work we use SMPlayer and FFMpeg, among other tools.

We currently have a desktop computer and a laptop computer that are loaded with Debian Squeeze/Buster and feature Xfce4 desktops. We interface with our printers with HPLIP and use Dosemu for access to legacy programs. Orage is used for scheduling and reminders. We keep things in sync with Unison and utilize LuckyBackup for backups.

We chose Debian because we find it to be more flexible than Windows for meeting our needs. We also value Debian's stability.
