well, debian is my second preferred distro :-) [1], after mdk of
course.
mdk would have used deb packaging if rh installer wasn't a nicer piece
to use when we created our distro ...
well, in fact, i love also the one file spec of rpm and dislike the
all-in-one patch approach of deb.
but i like the suggested, debconf, debhelper, ... stuff. we had to
reinvent the wheel a little for rpm. if drakx had been coded 1year
before, we would probably have been a debian fork.
i've no pro or cons for other distro but for those who writes non gpl
code ...
anyway, debian and mandrake (alphabetically sorted :-) ) are the
distro i would recommand.
[1] both from an ethical and a technical view point.
