Blame it on CmdrTaco... :) If not for him as
a Debian user himself, Debian would not be 
that popular.

Nobody knows this but... It happened 1998-99(?)
at that time, malda was in college i think and he
adds news items on slashdot on a static web page
and upload it to slashdot.org! Someone then at 
debian-user mailing lists told everyone 
to vote for debian as the favorite distro.

So I went to slashdot and voted for it.debian 
was immediately no. 1 at the polls then coz i 
think most of debian users voted for it. I 
guess it was the first mini slashdot... :) 
But eventually redhat won coz it was very 
popular at that time until now.
