Bout thime there is some traffic on the list about something other than RedHat

debian.org, /usr/doc and the standard stuff. Keep pluging away, if apt isn't
reason enough for you to ditch those other dists I don't know what is. Also,
you should note that the deb package format offers all kinds of goodies. The
post install scripts that execute upon install will generally either walk you
through critical software setup tasks, or tell you how to go about  setting
them up. Read more in the dpkg man page and the debian devel docs. Oh yeah,
and upgrade to potato as soon as you get the chance. I use the frozen dist
right now.
