From what i have seen of fedora and centos in the rpm world the repos are very much better in the debian world. To me the stability comes from the distro and it's repos. Not being able to install Abiword or yumex, having to spend time selecting options for repos to me simply isn't worth it.
I've just installed a Slackware distro today and it's the best i've ever tried in 6 years of using linux. It's speed, ease of installation put's it in a league of its own. Or as their 'chilling warning goes' Once you go Slack... you never go back!
have fun with a package management without dependency tracking well, without the probles above are hidden, but not solved
a funny thing to play with - but laughable for production environments which you maintain over many years without reinstall them ever
Like debian is improved on with derivative distros, when i said slack i was referring to a derivative Salix... with package management Gslapt which is very similar to synaptic. Hate to say it but imo very much better than yum.
You've been a nice friendly crowd but centos isn't for me.
