Hey all,

I've had my little Redhat server running for a while, and I'm considering migrating it to Debian, mostly for the apt-get feature.

I'm wondering about any caveats I should be aware of, before I embark on this mission?

I mostly use this server for a router, webserver, file server, and Neverwinter Nights server. The hardware has sufficed so far, but a number of little problems have surfaced over time which kinda warrant reinstallation (rather than reparation, because my knowledge -- nor the time I have to acquire said knowledge -- is insufficient).

Anywho, I came across a nice little (hah!) tutorial on setting up a Debian system over on projektfarm.com, so I'm thinking of giving it a go.

Any Debian gurus out there that can offer some advice?

I was mostly a Fedora Core user until recently. But then I discovered Ubuntu... Wow. What a difference. I like it a lot better. Since it's Debian based you get APT and all that great Debian stuff, but it's much easier to install and configure. If you plan on trying full-blown Debian, don't let me discourage you, but I recommend giving Ubuntu a try.

Funny you mention that, since I requested some CDs from them a few weeks ago. Guess I'll check it out

Thanks for the info!

debian based distros with the apt-get package installer is becoming my favorites , though suse and mandrake are becoming very easy to use.
