and like Fedora it makes a kick-ass workstation/desktop OS.

It's just something that won't ever be mainstream and is dubious for production environment.

You are aware that Debian is used on 80.000 systems in the Extramadura region in Spain, right?

You are aware that Debian is used on several thousand systems in Munich too, right?

You are aware that the servers of Second Life all run Debian, right?

These are just the three first examples I could come up with off the top of my head. They all sound pretty 'mainstream' and 'production' to me.

I'm not saying Debian Rulez the World, but saying "won't ever be mainstream and is dubious for production" is just trolling.
