Many thanks to our release managers and all developers for spending the

Debian's policy has never been to be the sexiest distribution around,
and while media etc. like to hype any OS or distribution based on its
'sexiness', all Debian users know that stability, maintainability,
etc. all work against 'sexiness', but ultimately are more important
and are the key factors for Debian's long time success among its
users.


Sort of like the difference between a super model and a super wife?
While not mutually exclusive, one has more enduring qualities than the
other.


Keep debian simple, stable and universal; keep out of the hype! Stay
firm on debian's design principles and the social contract; keep up the
great work!

Yeah, like a good husband.


Take my humble thanks for making my computers work great -- they
wouldn't work as good and as smoothly without Debian!



Debian GNU/Linux -- makes other OSes look crap.

I agree with the OP. However, I have yet to upgrade my 486; I'll let
you know if that works, or if Linux has left my old box for newer
models. :)

Thanks all,

Doug.
