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.
