Linux en Dells

[Phil Pinkerton]

Counter productive ? irresponsible ?  obscure distro  ?

Ubuntu is Debian therefor what your saying is Ubuntu is obscure ?

Linux is about choice, I certainly won't be persuaded by such ignorance and

I will fill the survey the way I want,

who knows perhaps Debian will come out on top even though it is not on
the list.

I also voted Debian even though I use Ubuntu I still believe Debian is
the strongest
distro out there, Why else are so many others based on it?
