Debian Is the Most Important Linux

just take a moment to read some of the comments in the flame war that erupted after this post (a.k.a. flamebait).

if i were obliged to choose between a Linux distribution, I would go for Debian, but, in general, anything not influenced by random types and colors of hats is fine.

also, Android is a Linux distribution. In your android phone (if you haven't one, buy one right away): turn off your phone and then turn it on again, run a terminal (install connectbot application and start a local connection), run "dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt" and open this file using your favorite file manager (e.g. Astro). If you are bored to do that, look at the photo at this post (http://dilulog.blogspot.com/2011/02/heros-root.html) :P Any OS that is running a Linux kernel is a Linux distribution.

inkscapee writes "Without Debian we are nothing. Debian is the most influential and important Linux, and is unique for being the largest, oldest, 100% non-commercial community-driven distro. '...just under 63% of all distributions now being developed come ultimately from Debian. By comparison, 50 (15%) are based on Fedora or Red Hat, 28 (9%) on Slackware, and 12 (4%) on Gentoo.'"
