[ RedHat vs Debian ]

It seems the question "which distribution's better -- a or b?" pops
up every once in a while.  Anthony, maybe it's worth adding a few
paragraphs comparing several distributions to the FAQ?

As for Debian vs RedHat, it seems that people with more unix 
experience prefer Debian, and newbies prefer RedHat.  Debian
is a very well thought out distribution, and debian-user mailing
list is extremely helpful if you run into a problem.

Which distribution to choose really depends on what you want to do
with it -- if you want a desktop machine with an office suite
you may be better off with Caldera's desktop and Applixware (not to
mention "that other OS".)  If you want a server that runs 24/7 with
minimum sys administration, go for Debian.  etc.
