My experience disagrees strongly.
1. Debian always had more stability and predictability than Red Hat in practice. Too much so. The Dells and HPs of the world didn't recognize it because it was not a company.
2. My impression was again that Debian was technically better than RedHat in every way I might care about. We happily installed it at $work, and the experienced Unix sysadmins I knew could use RedHat but didn't like it so much.
- worik 4y ago> Dells and HPs of the world didn't recognize it [Debian] because it was not a company. IIRC Debian maintainers formed companies for that reason. I was a Debian user because it suited me. It was obvious (to me at the time) that suits were going to choose RedHat, and we ran it a bit to have experience. How wrong I was. Ubuntu made Debian every bit as much as a "choice of the suits" as Redhat.
