Depending on your configuration this may or may not be true. Every 
system has its quirks, and redhat and debians are no exception.

Why not migrate a few of the systems, and see what happens. If 
everything works as smoothly as you hope, you will have solid proof to 
convince them to let you migrate the rest.
