Debian GNU/Linux

Debian is the only community run linux distribution. If you
are thinking wait a minute what about fedora. Think again,
and have a look at how fedora's policies are made in
particular long term policy. This in itself I think is enough
reason to use Debian and actively dis-regard other distributions,
at least for the politically minded. By using Debian and thereby
adding to its user base, you ensure that the future of linux
and such things as linux standards would not be controlled
by co-orporate lobbies but by the community at large.
