Billy, is Debian Etch on the "bleeding edge" of linux development? As far as I know, RHEL/CentOS is not. That might be part of the difference between them.
I read a while back that RedHat holds back with a lot of the newer developments in the Linux world with their RHEL product as it is meant to be an enterprise level system so they make a point to run only the tried and proven versions of various software. Supposedly, Fedora is what they use for testing all the unproven stuff on.
I'm still yet to get my hands dirty with Debian. One of these days I will...
Nathan, welcome back. It's good to see you return to the site.
