I don't think this has accurate; Debian doesn't have a policy about what types of software go into the distribution. Only that non-free software (as defined by the Debian Free Software Guidelines) does not go in the main section. Beyond that there is no discrimination on packages. > Also, IMHO, Red Hat has more included more documentation > on their system than Debian.
