<p>
    GSI is a German non-profit physics research facility that runs a heavy ion 
    accelerator and is part of the 
    <a href="https://www.helmholtz.de/en/research/">Helmholtz association</a>.
    GSI's IT department is running a Linux "farm" with more than 1500 OS 
    instances on premises (VMs as well as bare-metal), roughly 50% of them 
    running Debian GNU/Linux. Debian has been GSIs main Linux distribution 
    since 1997.    
</p>

<p>
    For our deployments ranging from fundamental IT services to desktops we 
    benefit a lot from the thousands of packages that we can simply pull from
    the well-curated and high-quality Debian repositories installations. 
</p>

<p>
   We also sponsor - and utilize - the Debian LTS support.
