A good way to do it. I had some spare room on my disk and ran the two in
parallel for a time, before finally deleting Redhat. This was several
years ago; IMO there is no real contest between the two, especially when
it comes to upgrading. I agree with others that the difficulty of
installing Debian is often exaggerated. If you mostly choose the
defaults throughout the installation process you usually end up with a
usable system, which you can then modify at your leisure.
