Hmmm, here i have a few problems. From a practical sysadmins point of
view Debian severely lacks the possibility to do unattended automated
installations (set-selections is not quite the same, sorry). There is
far to much interaction required. I really wouldn't want to install a
cluster of 50-100 machines using Debian and would be very happy about
something like the Redhat kick start feature instead. And then RPM is
pretty fast too...
But on the other hand, i consider Redhat not quite well enough to
really bother using it...
Cheers, P. *8^)
