>From what I've seen on this list so far, I'd say: Debian's harder to install. One guy mentionned he could install Red Hat in less than 15 minutes. Hard to have something fully up at that speed with Debian. Debian's way easier to maintain. Apt, dselect and dpkg are marvels. In the same way, Debian's easier to upgrade. So, in those comparative reviews, yes, we DO are disadvantaged. What they look at is: How easy are the 5 first day of use. They forget about the 360 next that'll really show the Debian power.
