One thing I find particularly attractive is that Debian is FSSTND
compliant, and I think going towards FHS compliance. I don't know for
sure, but from what I've heard, some RPMs tend to be sloppy when it
comes to placing files and such.
Debian is not motivated by profit, so when a new Debian release
cometh, you can be sure it's been tested to a full extent. I think
Redhat 5.0 or something was a nightmare, i.e. the had lots of bugs
surface due to lack of testing and premature release. It's similar to
Debian calling their "unstable" systems a the current production
release.
