Thank you everybody. Been a please talking tonight ... enjoy Debian.
:)
On a more hair splitting note, we could say it is Universal, at the
price of being a little more generic sometimes than it could otherwise
be.
This is a positive note, since we are naming Debian as universal in
more ways than one!
Eg:
- runs on every arch
- runs all software
- runs well on a very broad spectrum of resources
- eg constrained
- eg massive resources
- runs in (almost) every way you'd like
I mean, WOW!
Fellow humans, this Debian thing is like OFF THE CHARTS!
But of course, the set of
(installation preferred default sets)
+(menu options lists short enough to be sensible)
+(reasonable installation image size)
is perhaps the empty set.
Oh well.
Perhaps we should rename Debian "The hopefully universal enough"
Operating System?
