I would love to try Debian (for personal use), but unfortunately if you look
around at vender supported products like Legato (backups) and 
TNG (monitoring), they have declared support for RedHat (5.2).
Look at Dell, Compaq, IBM, etc... it's all stamped with 'RedHat Inside'

If I want to make a case for Linux (keep in mind that it'll replace NT
in server type areas), vender support makes a HUGE difference.

But to encourage a good debate... enlighten me/us why debian would make a
better installation.  For that matter, I think we should make another go-round
of how linux fits the business.  I should certainly have a lot to offer
when my investigation completes in a few weeks.  Currently the main focus is
support (that's where it has to start).
