Ahh yes, Best Buy really is the place to go for quality Linux advice.

Does he have benchmarks to back this up?  What he really means is that
he likes something about Debian.  It may be the software, it could be
the software repository, or it could even be that the tech's "cool
friends" use Debian and like to put down Red Hat...

It could be lots of reasons, but I doubt he'd be able to back up a "more
powerful" claim.

That's important.  If it works for you, it's all good...  Try Debian,
see if you like it.  Use what you want to use...
