> First of all, let's make it clear, Debian is not THE universal operating
> system. I mean it is definitely not the one and only OS.As said in the talk @ Debconf: this is just a slogan. Maybe before discussing whether we are (or not) a universal OS and whether we need (or not) to change the slogan we need to really define what we mean with "Universal OS" and make that public: Please notice: - The search '"universal operating system" site:ww.debian.org' shows that we do not dwelve into this slogan this much. - There is an (in my opinion) excellent paper by Andreas Tille (Debconf 7) which discusses this concept and could be used as a starting point. Maybe somebody could write a WML page describing the concept and we can discuss it, and put that up at the website. As maintainer of the Debian FAQ (which, I believe, is one of the few places where the "Universal Operating System" concept is described) [2] I'm open for patches to improve the definition :) Regards Javier [1] http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/200706_debconf7_cdd/tuos-paper.pdfr.ps [2] http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-basic_defs.en.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
