RE: Why use Debian? Why not Red Hat?
I am sorry that I cannot list specifics. I thought I had read in the
journals that RedHat offered the most drivers when comparing Linux
distributions. I may have had this confused with packages, I.e. RPM. I am
pretty sure it was drivers though. Sorry I can't offer more specifics. Can
anyone else ? If I am wrong, please tell me !
