debian-faq says: The Debian Project was created by Ian Murdock in 1993, initially under the sponsorship of the Free Software Foundation's GNU project. Today, Debian's developers think of it as a direct descendent of the GNU project.
(this was not changed since 2000, but ...) 'direct descendant' exists as a set phrase, and naturally, this phrase looks like a noun http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/descendant says: Usage notes The adjective may be spelled either with ant or ent as the final syllable (see descendent). The noun may be spelled only with ant. then, 'descendant' looks like a correct word here -- victory no need to CC me :-) http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/102724 0.0.1.4 http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/163846 0.0.1 http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/163848 0.0.1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
