Debian Package for Samba 2.2.0

[Michael L Torrie]

Well, the fact is, Redhat's RPM-based distro is the de facto commercial
standard and is supported by more commercial vendors (3rd party commercial
software) than debian.  Debian is more popular among the hackers, but
ultimately, management will probably look at the amount of commericial
support (linux support and 3rd party apps).

In a server environment, I'd see no advantage to Redhat over Debian or
vice versa, except that I'd probably expect Redhat to release security
patches earlier than stormix, being a bigger vender.
