So Aaron, hearing what others have had to say about Debian and RedHat,
could you offer any comments on what they've said?

Also, it would help me (new question) if people could briefly indicate
what their actual experience has been as a user of different
distributions.  If you've installed it once, or ran it for three
years, or whatever, let me know.

My experience has been that I ran Debian at home for a long time with
no problems, and the FSF has run Debian with no problems.  (Debian's
installation was not clueless-user-friendly [it's supposed to be a
little better now] but that's irrelevant for an Athena port.)  I now
run SuSE at home, which works seamlessly.

Thomas
