Nope, redfaced is for face2face... then fists come into play...

Of course, I am just kidding with the previous comment.

But I am serious, look at Ubuntu, it is in fact based on Debian.

And, BTW Distrowatch is subjective. Now that Etch is stable, I'd guess
that within a few months it'll re-take at least 2nd, possibly 1st.

Its that Fickle consumer. If you look at "servers" only, you'd be
shocked at the number of Debian machines.
