Surely folks that use Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Kanotix (64 bit systems) etc. can still benefit from the superior knowledge of this list (where it applies to things Debian rather than other distro specifics). I actually run Kanotix purely because it had all the stuff out_of_the_box to run my newish hardware. I won't be singing the praises of other distros but will from time_to_time ask or answer some questions (if I can) which will benefit the other users of this list. We are actually all Debian users at heart so, so long as we *speak* Debian then we should be able to help each other. Please let's not be too quick to judge someone else's use of a Debian derivative that was easier to install than *pure* Debian; it is Debian really - just has a different wrapper. Let's help as many folks as we can........
