Ok, well in that case I would have to agree with you. The other annoying thing you get with Redhat is the up2date feature... while its sweet for keeping your system patched, you got to either pay for it now, or fill out a survey every week. I never catch the surveys in time.

Plus if you use debian, you get that extra cool apt-get utillity, which is a God send.

By the way, I agree with you, it is a very stable version, I'm actually running either Debian or GenToo on my entire network (except my Laptop which is Mandrake 9). Just in my prior experience, I think its easier for a Windows user to migrate to Mandrake or Redhat first, since it will feel more like windows.
