Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 released
I've run slackware on 50ish systems, (and switched to debian becouse another department tried to push us to redhat in the name of 'standardization' and 'supportability' now running on a couple hundred servers)
frankly, when you are running a lot of servers, you don't want to use yum, dpkg, aptitude, or any other package management tool from each box directly, you want to deploy some sort of centralized configuration controls, and use those to upgrade your boxes. once you have done this, it really doesn't matter what the 'native' package manager is for those boxes (although it does make a difference on how much work you have to put into the one central image)
