Debian is very very good.
Debian is the largest used non commercial distro in the world. What that means is, Debian is a community project and is the lagest of its kinda.
I've used RH and compared to that, Debian comes out in front by a long shot. I've also tried BSD and OpenBSD was great, but im liking debian a lot.
Although if your not familiar with linux debian (as i've read many times) is refered to as an advanced linux users machine. Althoug i dont consider myself advanced, although im prolly more equiped then the average user. But i love it. Find it easy to use. Easy to find programs, you dont have to fiddler around with dependancies and i have total faith in the debian package system, unlike the RH one where i never really trusted it removed everything. I love that about debian. It feels as if i have control over my system.
I guess thats what the maintainers of debian where doing. Debian is produced by the community for the community. Where as projects such as RH are produced to make money. They dont neccessarily focus on the aspects of the system which are more important like packaging (their packaging system is damn poor compared to debians) and dependancies...
Debian maintainers prolly impliment what would make their lifes a lot easier, in effect, making our lifes alot easier too
i love deiban! and because of it, i love linux!
