How similar is commercial Linux?

[John Heim]

Oh, I should add that you probably won't have any trouble using Red Hat 
Advanced Server if you are already familiar with original Red Hat . The 
only thing that is different as far as I know is the way it loads the 
firewall. (I can give you more details on that if you'd like.)

As far as which programs it uses... Well, a year ago, AS was using 
approximately the same versions as RH 7.3. So it was kind of a step 
backwards from RH 9. But theydid that for stability reasons. RH AS is at 
about the same version on most things as debian stable (woody).

For instance, a few months ago, I installed emacspeak on my RH AS box at 
work and my debian box at home.  up2date --install emacspeak installed 17.0 
and so did apt-get install emacspeak.
