So why not run with RedHat or Suze? You are surely looking for a
chauffeur-driven kit sports car. Or a Hyatt adventure trail through
the Amazon.
Corporations that want to pay for corporate support and packaging get a
pretty good deal from RedHat, and save the direct responsibility of
paying for trained staff to manage their installations. I am not
saying there is nothing to do to run a RedHat installation, but surely
it is a different kind of process from Debian, or Gentoo, or... And
rightly so.
Aren't you better off running Debian for yourself and Redhat for the
boss/client? And developing two saleable skills at once.
None of my business, of course...
