 Indeed. RedHat noticed that there were loads of RedHat-like distros, for
that reason.

 So, you have Fedora for desktops/hackers, and RHE or CentOS for servers.
And the world is better for it. Are there any finished Debian forks that
are optimised specifically for Desktops and Servers ? Something with a
working software raid installer, and a recent GNOME version on the CD, for
the desktop, and something with PHP 4.3.x and MySQL4 for the Server
version ?
