Debian is a bear to install but a dream to maintain. While Magic Carpet makes it easier than it used to be to pull in security fixes and bug patches for a specific version of RedHat, it doesn't help upgrading from one version to another. In Debian, when you're ready to move from, say, potato, to woody or sid, you just update the paths in /etc/apt/sources.list, then type apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade To move from one RedHat version to another, I usually had to reformat my hard drive.
