This is for sysadmin stuff, btw.
This includes much more than just the Debian Way versus the Red Hat Way, but it's valuable: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta Some nuts and bolts: - /etc/sysconfig/ in CentOS vs /etc/default/ in Debian - The terminal is moved from Applications -> Accessories in GNOME to Applications -> System Tools in CentOS. - /etc/rc.d/ is the default directory for runlevels and init scripts in CentOS (/etc/rc.d/init.d/ versus /etc/init.d/, /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/ versus /etc/rc2.d/, et cetera). - /etc/sysconfig/network is where you set the hostname in CentOS versus /etc/hostname on Debian. - /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* is where you setup ip addresses, etc versus /etc/network/interfaces in Debian. - CentOS ships SELinux - yum versus apt, rpm vs dpkg, yadda yadda -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
