Re: I am quite familiar with redhat, but I am wondering how different Debian is?

In general, the scripts located in /etc/rc.d/init.d on Redhat are
in /etc/init.d on Debian. Both are sysv-based, so there is not
a radical difference like you will find with BSD-based systems like
Stampede or Slackware.

They will mostly be the same. Debian adheres to the FSSTD, although
soon will switch to the FHS for a directory/file location standard.
So, Debian will differ from Redhat only in places where Redhat diverges
from the standard.

As soon as all GNU/Linux users switch to Debian, we will have a standard
Linux. So, yes... we are working on this. ;)
