And, at some level, all of this... all of these packages, all of
these lists, all these web sites are a by-product of the OS that
Linus has helped to guide into existence. This may be an ugly assertion
that some people hate to give an ear to but there is truth to it. The
bulk of this effort is not about Debian HURD or Debian BSD, its about
Debian Linux... even if that makes you throw up in the back of your
throat a little, its where the numbers are.
