What I suppose I meant is that Debian's package policies are more mature<br>

Debian has very little third party vendor support, and that's what sells. Most companies don't by RHEL/SLES/HP-UX/Solaris, they by a platform for "Application X" and that platform must have backup compatibility with Enterprise Backup Application "A" and monitoring support for Enterprise Tool "B". That's why RHEL, and to a lesser degree in the US, SLES, win big contracts. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Philosophy doesn't matter; functionality does.</div><div><br></div><br></div></div>
