The original reason I moved away from redhat was for apt and the power
it offered.

I still think apt is the most powerful package management system
outthere, and having read Martin Krafts book on the subject, I
understand now fully why they are designed as such. Makes alot of sense.

If redhat moved towards apt, would I use it, dunno, I like my debian :p 

As for debating nicely, I always play nice *flutters eyelashes*
