    So all you Gentoo and Knoppix zealots, remember that Debian can duff you up because it's 10.

    And don't try bringing your Parents into it, my Dad is bigger than your Dad, because Debian could be your Dad anyway !

    Please not: The Debian Testing birthday cake will have 10 candles, the Debian Unstable birthday cake will have 9, and the Debian Stable birthday cake will have 7 -- and will only be upgraded to 10 candles when the concept of 10 candle cakes has proved itself sufficiently robust.

    Scheduled for sometime around Debian's 15 birthday.

    However, the recipe for the cake will be freely available and modifiable for all, as will instructions for the manufacture of the candles, and the party hats.

      Yeah, I realised that shortly after I posted...

      Though it does work in a way. I simply figured you meant that unstable had more candles than testing, but only nine were currently working.
