Section 1.1 'In the beginning' | Debian is the only distribution that is open for every developer and | user to contribute their work. AFAIK that's just not true anymore - Gentoo etc... Suggested wording: 'was the first' | It is the only significant distributor of Linux that is not a | commercial entity. Of course you can always disccuss the meaning of the word 'significant', but I'd say that Gentoo is not insignificant. (And isn't Knoppix noncommercial, too? That is quite well known by now.) Again s/only/first/ 4.1 The 0.x Releases | "Since this time, the Debian Project has grown to include several ports | to other architectures, and a port to a new (non-Linux) kernel, the GNU | Hurd microkernel. " And obviously now there's kNetBSD (and kFreeBSD?). 4.2 The 1.x Releases | ... eventually resulting in today's Debian Rescue Floppy. Is there such a beast still? If so, a link would be nice as google doesn't really give me a hint to find it. 4.6 What's Next? | Debian is working towards a new installation framework named | debian-installer, the new Glibc 2.3 and the new GNU GCC 3.2. gcc-3.3 will be the default compiler in sarge AFAICS.
