That is, not to be taken too seriously. A newbie where the first mentioned distribution is Debian should tell all but the very new to Linux crowd this is a joke! Debian had a reputation for the most difficult to install distribution. At first I thought they might of be thinking of other distribution build upon the Debian core - no they were not.

This is a fluff piece not to be taken seriously.

There's a difference to me between the Microsoft "fluff" pieces and satire. Satire is intelligent humor, and this fits the bill. All those articles about "Linux is not ready for the desktop", those are fluff. Completely different connotation IMHO.
