But do I know you?
I mean, when I said it, I meant people I actually know in person and I know what they're running.
Now, as I don't make a habit of going around asking people if they're running Ubuntu or Debian or what, my sample size is about 5 people.
One of those I know used to run a Debian laptop and I *think* he is running Ubuntu now but possibly not. I know the other 4 are running Ubuntu.

Hey I suggested my other half install Debian on her old laptop as she wanted experiment with free software. I was slightly worried she would have issues with the wireless but it all installed and ran fine. I think Debian makes a fantastic desktop OS if your not concerned about the latest whizz bang graphics effects or media players. It's stable and lightweight and very developer friendly.

Former DPLs need not apply ;}
(of course I'm running Debian on the desktop too, and adminning it remotely for my mum, who's in the same boat, and all she wants is something that Just Works and isn't virally infestable...)
