I'm a relative newcomer, and I'm less than 30 years old, and one thing that attracted me to Debian was the website's not being like lxde.org :) More generally, while I agree that we should be flexible in the pursuit of new contributors and users, we mustn't lose our identity in that process. > Well Debian on its page doesn't mention it is Linux based or has Linux > kernel or at all word Linux. We have Linux, HURD and the FreeBSD kernel, though. I suspect the thought was Debian hopes its practices, values and community will outlive any specific kernel, just like they could outlive apt/dpkg. -- Sean Whitton
