To achieve smooth operation of the complex CERN has a wide variety of hardware, from desktop machines to servers to industrial PCs. Debian has been chosen as the next generation operating system for all industrial computers in charge of controlling the electronics of the LHC. This talk will explore the reasoning behind choosing Debian as our next operating system and the experience integrating it with an extensive legacy CentOS infrastructure.
