is such an awesome project. I love Debian. I love how the system works.
I love the quality of the packages. I love that it lets me do what I
want to do, and does not try to dictate how to do things.
To all of you Debian developers, thank you. I really appreciate the
work you do. Keep it up!

Debian is a wonderful user-friendly distribution. I have used Fedora in
the past and now and then boot into it just to get a feel. Compared to
the package management system in Fedora, Debian's is bleeding edge
technology. The fact that is was developed so many years ago just shows
how advanced this all is! It is stable, even across distribution
versions, featureful and sensible.
Overall the distribution is based on very good sound principles. The
maintainers are an excellent lot. The mailing lists just show how nice
and wise Debian users are (don't believe me? Go to a linux newsgroup
(alt.os.linux I think) and see how expert linux users can be snobbish
and rude to newbies. I was a newbie once, I have experienced that).
Also, Debian community members appear to know what they are doing. The
mailing list is full of responses that show clearly how helpful they
are. I will try not to bash M$, but go visit a XP newsgroups on
Microsoft servers, it is chaotic and so 'random' as compared to Debian
mailing lists. There, nobody seems to have any idea what is going on.
The problems are stated in shreds without any relevant facts, the
responses are based on assumptions and hardly deal with the real issues.
Compared to that, Debian community is heaven!!I love Debain.
Keep up the excellent work, Debian Developers. You guys are simply great.
