I don't believe there's anyone here using Debian who hasn't tried at least one other GNU/Linux distro (I've used/run/adminned/installed RH, Turbo, SuSE, Mandrake, and Caldera), as well as other free (FreeBSD, OpenBSD) and proprietary (SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX, Irix, NCR SysV) 'Nix, and sundry other platforms (VMS, MVS, Mac, legacy MS Windows 3.11 - XP, DOS, Commodore 64, TRS-80....).

Just for fun, my list of 'nixen extensively used and (for most of 'em) admined: AT&T SVR4 r 3.21 and up, primeval BSD through 4.3, 386BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, MachTen, ESIX, Novell UnixWare, HP/UX, SunOS, AIX, SCO UNIX (blech!), Slackware, RH 2.0 and every version since, Yggdrasil, Stampede Linux, Progeny, Debian, Lycoris Desktop/LX, Libranet, Knoppix, Stormix, Corel Linux OS, SuSE Linux, Yellow Dog, LinuxPPC, Vermillion, TurboLinux, Caldera Linux Desktop / Caldera OpenLinux, Linux-Mandrake, NeXTStep, MacOS X, and Solaris.

But I'm not trying to convince anyone to use Debian, in any event. In fact, you'll note on my personal "rants" page that I recommend specifically against Debian for new users, and cite four or five others they might start with, instead.

What's your opinion of "GNU/Linux"? That phrase makes me hopping mad. If I were Linus, I'd be extremely vocal in opposing such co-opting by his inferiors.

It's difficult to pronounce.

That phrase makes me hopping mad.

And I rather suspect you enjoy that. Keeps those juices flowing.
