Honestly I've never understood that slogan. It can be interpreted many
different ways.

And my interpretation has alwyas been that it implies "we're as easy as
or better than Linspire..."  In other words, you don't have all
the "hassles" that you have with other distros getting it up and
running the way you (a newbis) expect(s) it to.

And honestly  if that's what it means, I have to disagree.  That's why
I'm not sure about what the meanting of "Linux for Human Beings" is.

Personally I like it because (to me) it's "Debian the way Debian should
have been by now".
