thanks for the interesting post. I am not a RH user and I could never figure out what was so attractive about their products. Anyway - I still wonder:
1) if you don't like GUI, what is it that makes RH better in your mind then Debian?
2) Mandrake's "fork" from RH took then a loooong way from the fork. Why don't you look at Mdk 9.2 and see for yourself how far they got? Also, Mdk *was* close to bankcrupcy but that is practically over and, besides, their products are not really affected (the advantage of GPL).
3) Mdk has not ad-ware or buggy code. Check the download edition of 9.2 and see for yourself.
4) Debian is really rock-solid and does provide you with anything, even if they are typically a littie "late" (timewise) compared to bleeding-edge distros. But they are also more stable. Last but not least: they are the ONLY ones whom we know for SURE will not sell out to the "korporate" world.
