Not really - Redhat is nice - particularly if you're a developer. And they're both rpm based - and specifically, not debian based. Debian based distro's are kind of crap if you've used anything else - particularly if you're a developer. I tried Ubuntu after leaving Novell (and gave it more than one chance), but that sucked a lot, so i was happy to be back to Redhat again when I finally did it. What a surprise it is that man pages actually work; for instance. “When former Novell engineers voluntarily embrace Red Hat, then it’s rather telling.”
