Time to move from Red Hat to Debian?Time to move from Red Hat to Debian?Posted Nov 6, 2003 13:57 UTC (Thu) by ll (subscriber, #4404)Parent article: Time to move from Red Hat to Debian? I'm doing the move from RH right now. A couple of things not mentioned in the article: -- As someone mentioned, no "big commercial, not-just-for-linux" binary products (Oracle, etc) support Debian. OTOH, one commercial, for-linux binary product, Crossover Office, works fine. I'm sure there are others. -- Unstable generally has more packages than RH, and there's less hunting around for RPMs. However, there are some gaps - e.g., mozilla-firebird is still at 6.1 in unstable. -- Knoppix is a great way to jump start your Debian experience, and also has a pretty good installer. Anyone interested in trying out debian should give it a shot.
