Debian info

[Timothy Wilson <wilson@visi.com>]

Hi everyone,

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I'm going to ask this question
anyway. And please... PLEASE ... check your zealotry at the door.

I'm considering installing Debian in an effort to extend my experience
with Linux. I'd be interested to have someone list a few of the major
differences between Debian and the RedHat/Mandrake/etc. distros. Are there
significant differences in the way the config files are arranged, the
startup scripts, etc.? I understand something about the packaging system
differences, so don't bother going into that part. How familiar will
Debian seem to a moderately experienced RedHat/Mandrake user?

-Tim
