Debian vs. Redhat: Round 1: FIGHT!

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date and not representative. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

It took me 2 hours to install pure-ftpd on RedHat 7.1 (a couple of months ago). I ran into all kinds of RPM hell up the wazoo and then gave up and did a source install.

It took me 1 minute to install pure-ftpd on Debian 3.0 testing.

WINNER: DEBIAN!
