It seems there is reasonably strong support for running Debian on the new 1Us. Shaihulud, gwicke, jeronim would like Debian; I remember there was also support for it from various people here on tech-l.
There's nothing wrong with Debian, but the machines have been in service for several days already. It would be pretty silly to wipe them clean and start over.
Again, it would make system administration and maintenance considerably easier and more manageable.
Not really; it would require taking much greater care to differentiate between the Red Hat and non-Red Hat machines. apt-get is available on the new machines already, so that's not an issue.
