Lotsa differences, here. One more to add to the pot: Debian gives you
the option of pulling in a ton of stuff on 14 CDs. This can be an
advantage if you have a second machine that you don't want on the
web...ever, but you want access to all the available software "out
there" without worrying about dependencies.

A small point to be sure, but still....
