I don't know much about debian's install, though I'll have learned it
before the semester is over. From what I gather though, redhat's install
is verry easy that I can say from personal experience.
Debian from what I've been told is mor complicated because you need to
know what your doing mor so then redhat.

As for how the two work, redhat comes with a lot mor packages then debian
does which is nice in some cases, but I honestly think it comes with way
too much.

I'll have to do the redhat install several times before the semester is
over, so next time I'll be able to customize it mor instead of taking
everything...

I honestly preffer debian over  redhat because once it's installed it's
not really that complicated to use I don't think. It's apt-get feature
gives it a big advantage over redhat I think.

Yes, I know, redhat now has apt-get, I've got it. but it doesn't have the
wide range of packages that debian has, and it apparrently has dependency
issues that it can't solve, and I don't know enough to solve.

Debian on the otherhand can most likely solve it's problems with little
prompting, and if it can't then it willsuggest ways for you to.

This is just my opinion.
