Hello, I don't know what is this characterization for, but I don't like it very much. Indeed, it would make more difficult to explain, as I do with Hypra or free software promotion organizations, that Debian is the best solution for a universally accessible operating system (and I'm sure it is). Moreover, it wouldn't be exact, in my opinion.
The main difference between Debian and Ubuntu is that the installer is less friendly-user, and the firmware are not loaded by default. But I think Debian is really the Universal Operating System. And it's the characterization I prefer: saying this, it shows how Debian is for anybody. But if one is not a technician, it could need help, of course. But 1st, it matches to the collaborative state of spirit in free software. 2nd, if paid, it enables to finance free software dev. 3rd, never forget that any OS, included proprietary ones, would be difficult to install if not provided in computers. Installing an OS and having all benefits is not easy for a non-technician, also with Ubuntu. So really, I wouldn't like such characte!ization if a communication would be done on it. In my opinion, "the Universal OS" is fine, or "the multilevels system", or "the system you desire" (as we can use it on little or powerful machines, for server or end-user desktop, etc. Or "a base for any usage in free software".
