Not to be underrated! Whereas RH's Alpha port trails by a version
or 2, with Debian, you can have a whole network of mix-and-match
hardware, from a lowly 386 or Mac to screaming PPCs & Alphas all
running the_exact_same_ _software_. Unprecedented in the commercial
s/w realm, and maybe only matched by NetBSD...
