    I don't see a pro debian slant to that site, only poking fun at gentoo zealots. In my opinion, there are four types of linux users. Gentoo zealots, Debian zealots, Linux zealots, and everyone else. You are obviously a Gentoo zealot because Gentoo zealtots think everyone who isn't a Gentoo zealot is a Debian zealot, because in your world there is only source vs rpm.

    Debian's auto-release script is hard-wired to a Brownian Motion Vector Plotter and a realy hot cup of tea. The release after next will be out sometime last year.

    If this release is named "Krokodile", I think the default startup music should be "Schnappi!"

    As a Gentoo user of nearly 3 years, I have no special thoughts about Debian, RedHat, Mandrake or other distro's users. I'm sure they are all fine people and enjoy their distributions just as much as I enjoy Gentoo.

    I see that Gentoo zealots have moved to an entirely new level of rabid fanboyism. Recognizing that the blatant, in-your-face evangelism approach has done all it can, you're now starting down a new path, subtly working away at our resistance through calm, rational and even apparently tolerant discussion... all the better to enhance the shock effect of your next frontal assault.

    But we're wise to you, oh, yes. The evil will not take our machines, sapping their cycles with endless compilation. We will hold our Debian swirls high and beat back the honeyed words just like the bombastic venom they so cleverly disguise.

    Or maybe we'll just cave and buy a faster machine.
