Personally I think "advanced" or "experimental" are not fair
descriptions of the distribution in its completeness. Those
descriptions could not even be true to the facts depending on how you
look at them. Thus, they could make people get the wrong impression
because of their inherent subjective status.

The only absolute characteristic I can see that differs it from all the
other distros in any imaginable situation is the fact that it's the GNU
project's own; GNU's GNU, so to speak. I assert that in the free
software world no technical distinction could lead us to uniqueness in
definition --- not even GNU Guix nor GNU dmd. Only political
distinctions can possibly do that.
