Well now!!  ;-)

So what makes Debian a superior distribution, you might ask?  It is actually 3 
distros in one!  And has a huge library of available applications that are 
easily installed without compiling!

And then there is this:
http://www.debian.org/social_contract.en.html

And this:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/ap-manifesto.en.html

And no, it is no longer difficult to install.  What's that?  Oh, yes, I DO 
have ALL of the latest and greatest of all applications.

:-)
