That's a technical and moderated point of view and completely valid,
again from one particular perspective.

Please note I am not saying Ubuntu is perfect, nor that it's better
than Debian or anything of the sort. My comments in this thread are
specifically against creating unfair FUD against _any_ other distro
just because you (not *you*, but in a general sense) may think the sun
shine out the ass of your particular distro. Many distros exist
exactly because of this and we should aggregate, no segregate in Open
Source communities.

The zealosy distro bullshit is one of the things that has
traditionally fragmented Linux communities and makes it harder to get
Open Source in the main stream government and Enterprise. Divide and
conquer my friend, and that is _exactly_ what traditional software
corporations do whilst we spent our precious time arguing about how
great my distro is.

Regarding the Debian community in particular, they seem to think that
everything else is crap, and that has been my point all along. I have
learned the hard way that zealotry is the #1 enemy of Open Source.

Cheers,
