Dear Users, I need a little help. We are an ISP and running RedHat distribution on our servers. I want to migrate them to Debian gradually because of the excellent features that Debian provides like policy, package management, release cycle, security updates and many more. I'm looking for a presentation on "Differences between RedHat and Debian" so as to convince my management. I'd be thankful if anyone could help me in this regard.
I don't know of any papers, but I have moved from RHL to Debian. My advice is do not convert. Instead, Replace.Running a RHL web server (or three?). Install one running Debian and start moving load across. Use it for new domains.
The web server's a pretty good one to start on because you can so easily share load.
If you plan on changing distro, this might be a good time to consider consolidating hardware, even changing platform. If Apple, Sun, IBM hardware looks good to you, Debian runs on it.
