I agree - When I installed Debian on my personal
computer, I was just getting to learn linux. Even
though I've got many questions all of them which can
be questioned here.

I don't know wether this is interesting for you, but
one thing I like of Debian above RH (the linux version
I ran a short time before switching) is, I really can
choose between Gnome, KDE, or another window manager -
while RH just chooses KDE as the window manager
(although things may have changed with RH 9)
