exactly. for instance I am not saying redhat/centos/fedora is better. Actually it may be worse. but like it or not if I want to study say networking services for a job interview, there is like a 99% chance the will ask me about redhat style quirks not debian style quirks. For example I have a book called "pro linux system administration" I am reading. each chapter details both the debian/ubuntu way of doing things and the redhat/fedora way. take apache for example. the way things are layed out and enabled are totally different between the two.

I personally love the stuff easy debian makes possible like iceweasel etc and dont need that dujplicated. I just would love to have the ability to work with core linux services with a foot in both major camps...the debian and the redhat.

thanks for listening. off to repartition my sd card thanks fatalsaint.
