This worked for me to a point.  Redhat was up and running quickly, but then
fell apart when something wouldn't work from the GUI based admin tools.
Then the workload went up dramatically to figure out where the problem was.

Debian has a steeper learning curve but then flattens out appreciably.  If
something is configurable, it can usually be tracked down to a configuration
file.  Don't get me wrong.  This fact has in no way impaired my ability to
ask dumb questions :)  It just makes it much easier to continue on.  With
Redhat, if the GUI didn't do it, I was stuck until I traced it down.

Because of this, I won't use a GUI unless it reports what files it modifies
and then makes comments in the files.  Come to think of it, that log would
make an awesome learning tool.  Does Redhat do this???
