Re: Debian VS. Red Hat
I resent the implication that we sysadmins ever think at all! And that
even if we did we had brains with which to accomplish the task.

( A sysadmin)
Incidentally the best reason I can think of for using Debian over RedHat
from a sysadmin's point of view is that security fixes on Debian arrive
very fast and are implemented into the distributions at once, keeping
your setup secure is normally a matter of issuing 2 commands a week:-
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
I have 40+ webservers around the world and it takes me less than 30
minutes to do (I don't automate it because I like to see what is being
changed everywhere)
