What are the main differences between Debian and Red Hat (I'm assuming there are a few current or ex-Red Hat users here)? Based against Red Hat 5.2, an experiance that scarred me for life and nearly turned me off to Linux entirely as I was starting out until I found Debian, so this will be a bit biased and outdated. - dpkg makes life easier than dealing with RPM. The dpkg isn't a complete bitch to deal with like RPM on the command line. You also have to make an effort to install two versions of the same package with dpkg, instead of it being the default behaviour like it is with RPM. - apt makes life easier than dealing with... oh yeah, Red Hat doesn't have anything to resolve dependancies and download packages automatically. So apt is better than getting cozy with a bash prompt and rpmfind.net for a few hours. - Filesystem layout is sane. No more trying to have to remember how to translate the layout from what's in the howto to what's on your system, it'll be closer to, if not the same. - We're the largest. Heck, the Apache package used to come with a few ad banners for Debian which bragged about having nearly 6000 packages as part of the distro. Most people will have under a tenth of that installed, but the point is, you have selection and variety. - Installer's not as scary (as of Debian hamm, which was the last time I had to use the installer). Yeah, it doesn't autodetect beyond what the kernel can (ie, you don't necissarily have to know module parameters, but you at least need to know which modules), but it gives you a bit more control over what packages get installed right off, and it doesn't try to partition your disk by default into a bizarre layout. - Upgrading is easy. I've been using Debian since bo, reinstalled to get hamm (kinda like the easiest way to upgrade Red Hat), and somewhere around that time someone pointed out an early apt release to me at a LAN party. Every once in a while I go through and clean out the cruft, but it hasn't had a bad cruft buildup yet. Does Debian support the old Sound Blaster Pro CDRoms (sbpcd module)? Not sure, but if the linux kernel supports it, shouldn't be that big of a problem. How well does FVWM run on Debian systems? I currently build FVWM rpms for Red Hat. fvwm2 and fvwm95 (the two fvwm flavors I'm familiar with) run great. I need to run servers on two 16 Meg RAM boxes - DNS and mail mainly. X would be nice, but I usually use X forwarding on those boxes to another one that can handle the load (500 MHZ, 512 Meg RAM). XF864 is great here, bind9 runs nice, I use it for my local network myself. exim runs great, and thank you, dman, for that spamassassin+exim howto; it's working wonders. Adding spamassassin and sending an email reminding users to report spam has worked wonders (as opposed to just reminding users to report spam). distribution that will work as both a server and a desk top environment. And I need one that will remain loyal to its customer base, including those with low resource PCs.

I IIRC, relaying is either enabled by default or overly-easy to enable in one of Red Hat's GUI admin tools. And if they're connecting to you directly to send thier spam, they're not relaying, they're doing what any other mail server would be doing. need an MTA that gives me more control over the mail in my system, including the ability to have copies of all mail that originates in my system sent to me by the MTA. This is best done by hacking procmail into the message path on an existing MTA, no MTA has this ability out of the box. You'll probably like Debian's default, exim, which is easy to configure and doesn't have relaying enabled by default. I started with 5.2 also. Actually I tried Slackware first. That was a nightmare.

I'm assuming that they received some spam with a message ID that matched one of my machines. My setup: exim from sid, with the hack dman mentioned about a week ago in the configs to run everything through spamassassin (this causes most of the spam to be tagged with an extra header to make it bloody easy for users to procmail filter it, and SPAM added to the beginning of the subject line for easy visual identification). Most spam doesn't make it that far, I have exim configured to use about a dozen RBLs, which takes out the spam that isn't worth reporting due to ISP inaction on the issue. The last two RBLs in my config don't list anything but every IP address assigned to Korea, and the other every IP assigned to China, since it doesn't appear any admins in either country have a clue. This at least gets it so what does make it through is most likely coming from an ISP that takes action on such issues. Report *all* spam, period. spamcop.net automates this, you will see dramatic reductions in spam after a few weeks. Just as a test, we set up an account on a server with no spam filtering whatsoever and put the address on some fairly regularly spambot-crawled webboards. It got up to recieving 40 spams/day. We started reporting it. It dropped to 3 spams a day within two weeks, and that spam would have been blackholed by the RBLs if it was an address on ursine (most of what was left came from China, Korea, or Postmaster General, Inc).
