Debian- What It Means To Me

,----[ Quote ]
| I have a love/hate relationship with Debian. It is a solid operating system, 
| with a lot of potential. When initially released in 1993, then following the 
| subsequent years, Debian wan innovative. It was one of the first 
| distributions to introduce package management that resolves dependencies, and 
| it did so well. Leaving Debian decoupled, so it could also run with the HURD, 
| FreeBSD and NetBSD kernels, albeit still very much in alpha stage currently, 
| make it a universal operating system. Nevermind the fact that it is compiled 
| for fifteen CPU architectures, and has over 20,000 packages. Lastly, it’s 
| core philosophy or removing all firmwares and non-free software from the core 
| operating system make it a viable operating system for GNU.

| culture and ethos of Linux very confusing. There were three books that were 
| invaluable in pulling my understanding out of this quagmire, which I'll 
| mention briefly...
