Q. 1) What are the key differences between Red Hat and Debian-based systems? Red Hat-based and Debian-based systems are two major Linux distribution families with different philosophies, tools, and structures. Here are the key differences: 1.

Default Package Manager Red Hat-based: dnf (formerly yum ) is the primary package manager. Debian-based: apt is the standard package manager. 3. System Initialization Both: Now use systemd by default, but historically used different init systems ( SysVinit in Debian, Upstart in older Red Hat). 4.

Debian-based (e.g., Ubuntu, Linux Mint): Offers regular stable and LTS releases; generally more up-to-date. 5.…
