Debian GNU/Linux: 15 Years Old and at the Crossroads (Datamation)

Datamation talks
with some Debian project leaders, past and present, about the
distribution's 15th anniversary and its future. "The popularity of
Ubuntu, [Ian] Murdock suggests (as well as, he might have added, the popularity
of specialized Debian-derived distributions such as Knoppix and Damn Small
Linux) may very well mean that Debian's role is changing. Instead of being
the distribution of choice for many users, the project may be evolving into
an upstream supplier for other, more user-focused distributions."
