Not to pick nits, but I see it more as Journal of Things Related to
Linux and other Free Unices, and Free Software That Runs On Them, as
Well As All Those Legacy Proprietary Companies Which Are Trying To Join
Get On the Bandwagon, but that doesn't leave enough cover space for
the picture of Linus and the obligatory Ewing Tux image.  LJ has run
articles on software other than Linux, licensed under terms other than
free, and has included the occasional *BSD item to boot.

 I suggest that all Debian users go to the URL below, and fill out the Linux
 Journal's survey, seeing that they did not list anything for Debian...When
 asked what Linux source do you use, I checked other, and typed in DEBIAN!...
 
 Let them see how many of us are out here that are using Debian,  NOT just
 what they have Listed...Caldera, Laser5, Mandrake, TurboLinux, Suse, Corel,
 Red Hat...
 
 Maybe by doing so, they will have more artical's in there magazine
 pretaining to Debian Linux...

...

  Simply fill out the survey at http://www.linuxjournal.com/survey, and
  your free t-shirt will be in the mail!

It's also worth noting that Slackware wasn't listed, nor were any of the
*BSDs.

Makes you wonder how much thought went into the survey and whether it's
just a data mining expedition.

I can't dispute this possibility.

It is the Linux Journal, but they did includ UNIX in several of the question 
answers.  They left out HP-UX too :)
