For much of its history, Debian has been the major noncommercial, philosophically free distribution. Now, as Debian developers and users have deserted the distro for Ubuntu, does Debian have a purpose any more? Debian 4.0, which was released this week, represents a collective effort to answer that question. The philosophy behind the release is best summarized on the home page for the Debian on the Desktop subproject, which states, "We will do everything we can to make things very easy for the novice, while allowing the expert to tweak things."
While I have moved my laptop distro of choice to PCLinuxOS 2007 I still prefer Debian for my desktop choice. I like how the author didnt go for the sales pitch, but rather just compared it to what the stated theory of use for Debian is versus what was actually released.
