I'll have to check the details, but whilst I think my employer might be
better off with the Enterprise edition anyway, I think they are going to
be mightily unimpressed at an OS release with a one year time span,
having gone Redhat 9 for the latest project.

I suspect that the upgrade path will be trivial, as I'm sure it is more
to do with Redhat profits, than a technical issue.

Still for someone involved in complex server builds, where anything I
can get away with an off-the-shelf RPM/package is half a day saved, I'll
be strongly favouring Debian, even if the business people can stump up
the cash. My recent experience is Debian is pretty much as good, or
better, with more weird packages supported, but slightly less 3rd party
software prepackaged.

Indeed for my last project my laptop install is keeping up with the
Redhat build with far less effort, due to the flexibility of "apt", and
the excellent selection of packages.

Sure "apt" like solutions exist for Redhat, but my experience is the
dependency information is not precise enough to ensure that after a
major upgrade you have most things working, unlike Debian. Heck even
Debian unstable compares favourably in this regard.
