Greetings,
Have been working with Windows for many years, I'm planning to *migrate* to
Linux.
Googled Debian vs. Redhat. Found that more commercial software vendors
support Redhat rather than Debian. Why does this happen?
Also, Debian contains more than 8000 packages, which is much more than the
number of packages Redhat has, buy why the Redhat needs more than 600MBs
harddisk space while Debian needs less than 200?
Which one are you using or prefer? Why? Which one should I use? Suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
cheers,
feng
