That and--it will make most of us cringle--when other kernels are popular, 
you'll hear lots of stuff like:

"Hey, what Linux do you use?"
"Hurd, man."
"That's cool, I use FreeBSD."
"Debian rocks with all these kernels."
"Yeah, that's why I love Linux."

Can we please discuss this when we actually have a release with something
not Linux as the kernel? :-)

In fact it is a GNU distribution, it used to be GNU/Linux distribution,
now we can call it simply GNU (given the fact that both hurd and
kfreebsd-gnu are rocking and under active development). "Linux
distribution" is just wrong (and rather annoying).

Yeah, this usually applies to all work, especially voluntary. I for
one appreciate the work done by each and every Debian Developer, from
the ftp-masters and security team all the way to the maintainers of
individual packages I use and the porters and translators. Thanks to
you all for the best Linux distribution!

That's the reason to see so often just complaints about ftp-masters
issues and not appreciation for their regular job. Well done.

FTPmasters (again)

[Thomas Bushnell BSG]

So the FTP masters always get fought with these long flame wars (you
all know the ones I need).  Sadly, threads with titles about the FTP
masters are usually obnoxious flames.

Well, they worked hard to get sarge out, cleared up a big backlog, and
did all kinds of other wonderful stuff.

I recently had a NEW package, and it went through in a short time,
without any problems, and all indications are that NEW queue handling
has been speedy and efficient.

The ftp.debian.org bug entry is short, and things there are processed
speedily and efficiently.

And amidst it all, Anthony Towns got credit for having done lots of
the work with the new bugs.debian.org.

So, to the FTP masters, kudos, thanks, and woo hoo!

Thomas
