I don't know if this is a typo or not...But Debian is not and never has 
been a derivative of Red Hat. If memory serves correct Debian officially 
kicked off in 1993 almost a year before Red Hat's first 1994 Halloween 
release. While there is and has been overlap in open source packages and 
tools, they are firmly two very distinct Linux sub-families.

Maybe you meant you were evaluating Rocky as a derivative of Red Hat or 
evaluating Debian as an alternative to Red Hat....
