It's the choice of packaging system that holds the rest of the software
together - the heart of system stability - after which the other choices
should be made, in my experience. So we should hear from a Fedora user,
about Gnome + redhat/.rpm as well as the .deb platform, to complete this
comparison.
Debian packaging under Gnome seems the most bullet-proof software
modification and maintenance scenario, but others will make a desktop
selection using different values.
