Hmmm.... for me, its all about the kernel. Thats 90+% of the battle. Some distros use good kernels, some do not. I won't mention who I think is in the latter category.

I was hoping for some discussion of concrete issues.  for instance,
I have the impression debian uses something other than sysvinit - does that work out well? is it a problem getting commercial packages (pathscale/pgi/intel compilers, gaussian, etc) to run?

the couple debian people I know tend to have more ideological motives
(which I do NOT impugn, except that I am personally more swayed by practical, concrete reasons.)
