RedHat is probably the most recognized and specified distro in the business community (ie by managers as opposed to IT people. A lot of the documentation at http://tldp.org was based on (Pre-Enterprize) RedHat, and the book Running Linux, and excellent introductory reference, was based on it. Running CentOS, the recompiled open version, or Fedora, the "community" based free version is a good way to learn the Red Hat Way.
Debian, on the other hand, is probably the most used Server OS, excluding the above enterprize environment. When the IT staff have chosen the distro instead of Marketing or Management, the server run Debian. It's upgradability, reliability, and long-term stability are second to none.
Ahem. I'm going to have to take issue with that claim. Do you have any citations to back that claim up?
We own between 65 and 85 percent of the Linux server market, depending on which report you read. Debian based distros are not really even a blip on the radar from a commercial standpoint.
