[TriLUG] RH to Debian learning curve?

Jason and John just helped my company set up an Ubuntu server and I have
used nothing but RH & Mandrake in the past. Apt-get or Aptitude is a breeze
to use and seems better to me than RPM. The updates/upgrades are a snap. I
use Webmin to administer Apache so the difference between RH & Ubuntu is
pretty much nil... I haven't used the interface much as most of my work is
done over ssh into the box every night from home. There are some differences
in file locations that upped the learning curve but nothing major. (Or at
least nothing that is really hard to figure out.)
 Ubuntu really works great for me and I wish that I had switched to it a
year ago
 Regards,
Mark.
