Debian is one of THE most important Linux distributions around, ranking
up there with Red Hat, Slackware, Arch, and SUSE. Remember to show the
Debian project some love once in awhile :)

I personally use Debian Stable as my daily driver now. Old packages be
damned, I can count on stable to not break my system when I run "apt
upgrade". The same cannot be said for many of its derivatives.
