Funny, I just read this twenty minutes ago. I think Ian is somewhat right, most people who use Ubuntu (Not to insult them) are teenagers who want to use Linux in the same way "hip" people use Macs. Not to say that all people who use Ubuntu are like that, but a good majority are. And for the people who actually want to use Linux, they will eventually move from Ubuntu to Debian. That is how I found my way here, since my vendor (System76) ships with Ubuntu by default. I spent three months in Ubuntu learning how to use and configure my system, and after three months I felt ready to switch to Debian. I think that is what Ian meant by "[Ubuntu has] a tremendous impact on the number of people [...] using Debian". I'll be looking forward to April's LFX, sucks that I live in America so I have to wait an extra month or so to get the magazine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
