Debian at 17: Still as Important as Ever
So they say - never could get it to work very well on any of my machines, nor could I ever a distro with a .deb file system, other than ArtistX, which I no longer bother with because it now bases itself on KDE rather than Gnome.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.

Yes it is the most important distro together with Fedora. And it is the major base distro out there that is 100% community driven. Fedora is Red hat and company driven. Debian is older than Red hat only beaten by Slackware.
I had it working just fine on a laptop here some time ago,
Without Debian there would be no Ubuntu and xbuntus

Well I wouldn't use it for a desktop anyway it is a server by nature. Wireless does not play a role in the server part. But by all means it will do as a desktop too.
