[BF Brief opinion.] I *HATE* RedHat. Here's how it happened: I tried
to upgrade from RH4.2 (which was quite nice) to RH5.0 and I found that
5.0 had many, many, many, many, many, many, many bugs. For example, in
its packaging of Emacs the \"describe-function\" command didn't work
because the RH-boys forgot to package the DOC-xx.xx files. This bug
was a very severe one, and yet it wasn't noticed immediately; so I got
a picture on my mind of the RH development team as a group of about
2.5 [TT vi] freaks packing RPMs very fast with dollar signs on their
eyes, and I decided to give Debian 1.3 a try. I had only a binaries
CD, and though I'm a source code addict I fell in love with it
immediately. I've been using Debian ever since and now I consider RH
to be halfway between Debian and M$ in terms of quality. I admit that
Debian is harder to install for the complete Linux newbie, but this
should change in a near future, and I'm trying to do my part on it.
