[linux] Debian (was: I will....)

[David Fetrow]

 Informative, thankyou.

 Debian vs. Redhat:

 Kernel updates in RHE tend to track
 current kernel better but this is not always an entirely good
 thing; weird equipment and software have been known to break
 which happens less often than the minimal security update and keep
 pretty much the same kernel approach...and we have some DARN weird
 software and hardware.

 Kickstart is indeed cool but not really needed in my situation
 Debian install CD's get built with up-to-the-hour patches but
 there is a Redhat way to get the same place (a patched machine)
 so who cares?

 Redhat is indeed a nice distro and a more than defensible choice;
 I get overly touchy around Debian sometimes.
