Hello,

Yes, I think the most popular versions of Linux in use depend on what country you are in actually. I also think it is a must to cover Debian tools and RedHat/Fedora/CentOS tools or at least where they differ. I know quite a few admins that setup dpkg/apt even on RPM based distributions. Not sure why but that is their comfort level. The other item is what are the other *NIX using for Open Source tool integration, AIX uses RPM for example. This would give a slightly broader view of the whole package management question.

Best regards,
Edward Haletky

And RPM, YaST is the front-end.  Although OpenSuSE  is interesting.  ;)

The real question in my mind, is how many Business/Enterprise systems are out there for every OS in use. I would base my choice of which to include on that as well as how non-proprietary or singletons the tools are. As well as how many other Operating Systems make use of the package manager for installing open source tools.

There are a number of Enterprises that are Debian-wielding.  And because
of the home consumer popularity of Ubuntu, it's becoming a required
knowledgebase for even Enterprises.
