Also, in a corporate enviroment, never understtimate the CYOA factor.
With Debian, you will be where the buck stop at. There wont be a
corporate contract with RH to cover you when shit happens. SuSe is a
nightmare of non conformity. Debian is text book SysV directory
structure, a great help if you use other Unix systems. Do find out why
your bosses wantr to change from RH, you didnt mention that, depending
on their reasons, you might want to consider other options. If you want
a good suggestion, do present all sides here. but these are the ones
that come to mind between Debian vs. SuSe. I would sayd ignore the 'gnu
free' vs. 'truly free' argument, this is a corporate
enviroment...anyway, hope that helps, odds are it wont. But its my
2cents anyway. --gabe
