Bill,

It sounds to me like you're just upset about having had something
rammed down your throats by your management.

Could you give us a concrete example of something that was difficult
in Red Hat, but easy with Debian?

I am quite frankly amazed that you feel as strongly as you do about
which distribution you're using.  AFAICT, the only things that
significantly distinguish the distributions are ease of installation
(or lack thereof) and package management.  FWIW, the package
management issue is why I switched to Red Hat (from Slackware) many
years ago.

P.S. You should look at the bright side; you're still using Linux,
you have the source code to everything, and it's not that hard to
fix the things that you don't like.
