Redhat is a distribution geared at ease of use. That's why Linus
himself uses Redhat and not Debian. Debian with all it's "technical
superiority" would definitely benefit from becoming a bit more user
friendly as well. This should be possible without dumbing down or
sacrificing technical advantages but might in the contrary actually
add to it's overall quality.
Speaking about polls, here is the URL of a poll conducted in Germany a
few months ago. Debian is second here too but Redhat is not first
either: "http://www.linux.de/poll/question.php3?qid=2&show=1";.
