Um, I've had too many problems with security and stability out of RedHat
in the past.  They may have gotten better in the last year but not from
what I've read.

On the otherhand I use Debian at work exclusively on 750+ servers.  When
I go home I like to have the same environment so I don't "mix them
up"...  It makes life easier and simpler.  Debian is very easy to
install if you read as you go instead of mindlessly hitting enter A-La
Window$.

Run RedHat if you like it, support it if you like it.  Run Whatever
version of Linux or even BSD you like, support it if you like it.  Just
don't feed the M$ Monster.

As I've said the last 5 years, None of the Unix's should be fighting
(not even against AIX) (well, maybe sco as a backup target) until Bill
Gates is begging for pocket change and the RedMond campus is a ghost
town.


Thus spake tom (thawk80 at mindspring.com):
