Want to install Zenworks on all our servers, one of the first servers we go to install it on it doesn't support the OS.

support for debian linux

Seriously, Debian should be supported.
Now that other Linux OS are considered Enterprise (https://buy.ubuntu.com/collections/ubuntu-advantage-for-desktop)
This should be a next step.
In our research we are finding that most Linux desktops prefer this flavor. (maybe not server)
A lot of the applications we are wanting and needing are standard in the OS provided store as well as a lot of packages that have scripts to build from Ubuntu.
We see that we might be able to add 300+ Linux workstations in one department overnight to zenworks if this was supported.
Complete agreement. We have 10 client computers that we could move directly. More would follow. Please think about offering a debian client.
I agree. It would be nice to use Zenworks agent to deploy some common config settings (e.g. for logging) and tools (e.g. monitoring agent, utilities) to debian servers too. Having debian systems integrated in asset management (software inventory) would be an advantage too.
How can we know if this idea will be taken in consideration? It is necessary to support this linux distributios, our customers have wide infraestructure on this SO.
