RE: Just starting - looking for references
There are two main differences:
1) The init directories -- RedHat uses the /etc/rc.d/rcN.d type of layout while
Debian uses the /etc/rcN.d structure.
2) Debian packages tend to work and work with each other. They are better
integrated as a total distribution than RedHat's are.
As for which unix would come close ... maybe Solaris if you use only the gnu
versions of various commands.
