Re: Debian vs Red Hat??? I need info.
Dpkg beats RPM hands down for anyone who has to actualy administer a
number of boxes and wants everything as automatic as possible (for
upgrades).
As far as being able to customize the distro - go all out. You can of
course edit config files at the "vi" level ;) There are also tools to
take the administration of a large number of machines to an even higher
level.
I don't know if the mass installs is a possibility. I imagine it depends
on your idea of an automated install.
