Slower adoption of technology. Oops. Just kidding. :)
Actually, while somewhat true, I'd much rather take the tried and true
Debian distro over the nastiness of finding the proper RPM's these days,
especially with the strangeness of Mandrake RPM's and others floating
around out there.
(A disgruntled RedHat admin at work who uses Debian at home and can't
figure out why the company thinks being able to find people who have
RedHat on their resume' is more important than stable systems... hell,
I'd rather have OpenBSD on the public systems, but that's a whole
different thread.)
