Debian Opens "Front Desk" for Derivatives
,----[ Quote ]
| Many Linux projects use Debian Linux as
| their code base for developing their
| distributions. Perhaps as many as 120
| distributions are based on Debian and some
| include SimplyMepis, sidux, KNOPPIX,
| Elive, and Parsix. Perhaps the most widely
| known and used is Ubuntu. Ubuntu receives
| negative comments because many feel its
| developers don't contribute back upstream.

Kanotix 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| Kanotix is a Debian-based Linux
| distribution aimed at new users or anyone
| wishing for an easy-to-use system. In 2005
| Kanotix was looking good, it was stable,
| fast, and had some handy extras. But then
| it suddenly disappeared. Now it's back.

Democracy not Meritocracy - Eliminating the "Mediocracy"
,----[ Quote ]
| By shifting to a Debian base we have
| eliminated the mediocracy inherent within
| software developed in a meritocratic
| distribution. We believe in providing
| fit, finish, and stability while bringing
| the newest software possible meeting these
| guidelines. Usability is one of our core
| values. Our release philosophy is simple,
| it is released when it is ready. Patches,
| and software updates are rolled into the
| distribution on an on-going basis
| eliminating the requirement to "upgrade"
| the distribution every six months. Users
| will find respins released on a schedule
| which roll up existing updates making
| patching simple for new installations.
