You can be any M you like:-) 'cept, probably M & M.

Well, they both put the kernels in /boot (but named a little
differently), and both put modules in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
You could conceivably get some dependency problems, but those could
_easily) be handled by installing the appropriate Debian package and not
using it:-)
Think lmsensors. The modules in RHL are in the kernel package.
If you have some flash new hardware, building a kernel from RH or
Mandrake or SuSE is more likely to provide support for it than Debian
is. I know RH and Mandrake both had USB in 2.2 when it wasn't in
kernel.org source.
Red Hat puts a lot of work into gcc, glibc, the kernel and gnome (and
probably lots of other stuff).
It's a shame DDs don't actually use RHL some of the time. It's called
"surveying the opposition."
Of course, on RH lists I used to tell 'em what they did wrong!
