Oh Boy....

Debian sinks it's brand name over the years. We know it's there, but their 
brand was well known only for few geek masses. As if Debian doesn't show 
it's enthusiam and interest on propagating Linux.

Ubuntu now snap the hell out of it. Ubuntu is now going to be adopted in 
other country, faster than any distros. Ubuntu is the firestarter to this 
open source spirit whatever.
