I, for one, would be very interested in this comparison. My company has
started using Linux in a pretty big way, kind of at my instigation.
Because I was the only Linux guy, we used Debian of course :). But because
a lot of my colleagues were new to Linux and found the Debian install to
be much less "slick" than Red Hat, I was under attack as to my choice. A
lot of what makes Debian cool is appreciated only after some time with it.
