    That's why I use Debian;  package once, install everywhere... (Or
words to that effect, I may be mis-remembering...<g>)

    I will be taking a look at CentOS on the next system I'm putting
together (I'm waiting for the hardware), but that's because I want to
get familar with a Red Hat derived OS;  not because Debian isn't doing
what I want...   (I prefer Debian itself over Ubuntu for a server
system;  it's more stable...)
