debian vs redhat

[Steve Stancliff <stanclif@mlr.ufl.edu>]

Hi all,

I use Debian at home.  At work we are gradually switching from Windows to Linux,
and a redhat
system (6 machines) has been running for about 3 months.  In a couple of weeks I
will be taking over
as sysadmin of that system, and due to the way the installation have been
over-customized, I am going
to reinstall them.  I am going to try and convince my boss that as long as we
are reinstalling, we
should switch to Debian.  I have my list of reasons for preferring Debian, but
maybe there are some
things I haven't thought of which you can mention.  I am particularly interested
in hearing from those
who have administered both dists.

Thanks,
Steve
