I don't think the question could be answered only in this way...
The fact that RedHat it's colser that Debian or the other distros is true.
That's not necessarily bad.
RedHat have a lot of customers because, if you pay, you have a great support
by great programmers/developers.
And more, RedHat gives the 98% of its software to the OpenSource community.
But RedHat doesn't want from anyone to contribute to its distro.
I believe in RedHat, I'm using RHL, I have used Slackware and Mandrake and
Corel.
I don't have Debian here, but there I have no need. Linux is Linux
everywhere, the differences are small between distros, all that you want from
RedHat is a better (and graphical) installation than the one that come with
Debian, more tools to setup the whole system etc...
When you find to be able to setup everything with VI or Emacs, you can think
about GNU/Linux and not RedHat Linux or Slackware Linux etc...
All that to say: RedHat is selective, even though an Open Source society.
What do you think?
