As a college student I was assigned a project that had to run on the school Linux cluster (RedHat 6.2, if I recall correctly). I installed RedHat on my laptop since I wanted something closer to that environment for my development work. It was a real pain. The "Red Hat way" seemed so convoluted. A friend who worked tech support in the CS department at school handed me a Debian install CD for Woody, which had just been released. Back in those days Debian's installer was notoriously difficult to use, so I did not manage to complete the installation. I asked my friend for help with the install and once I overcame that obstacle, I was all set. The first thing I noticed was that the "Debian way" seemed so much more sensible to me compared to the "Red Hat way". After that, I decided to set up Debian on a spare PC in the house and use it as a firewall/web server/mail server/etc. I have been trying to push Debian everywhere I go since. Now, before you go and think that I am biased, I will say that I am actually biased :-) I certified as a RHCE some years ago and I can honestly say that only highlighted to me how much more comfortable Debian feels in everyday use both on the desktop and on the server.
