Hi people!
This may sound like a stupid or minor question but i'd really like to
hear from all of you why do you think Debian is great, in
comparison to ALL of the other Linux distributions out there!
For me , the Apt package managing tool solely is like 50% of the

Hey,
apt would have to be a great deal of the reason (it made me come back from
LFS after a few months), but the morals are equally important, and the debian
community can't be beat.

apt is a big reason I use Debian, but, I think the flawless packaging
means more to me. :) ..Everything seems to work with very little extra
configuration. I tried Mandrake 8.1 for a week or so before I
discovered Debian -- It was pretty, but difficult to manage. Debian
seems to be designed

Hi Camilo,
some things I like especially about debian:
- the _excellent_ package management
- the clear file hierarchy structure - bins, docs, configs, ... are where you

- some really well-designed details, e. g. the debian menu system
