I'd really like to see Red Hat drop Fedora and instead use Debian as their base too. Likelihood of this happenning: zero.

Thank God.

You need to use Debian to get its beaty.

RHL/SuSE/Mandrake they are all sort of brain-damaged with differentiation and branding. And it
really hurts and splits community. (Try to make an rpm which will work on all versions of all
forementioned distros - next impossible, even if no dependencies present)

Debian managed to stay sort of neutral with its dpkg & apt. When some-one say "it runs on
Debian stable" you can be absolutely assured that you will have no problems at all. Debian
managed to not to fall into "Not Invented Here" attitude - and actually sucked best from
development of all distros around.

Two words: Community Project.
