^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If he's referring to Debian's base system, then I don't see
how it is bloated. Should Debian throw away all packaging
/ configuration code? :?
If he's referring to whole Debian as a base OS dist, that's wrong.
Debian is surely a full software distribution, not a base
OS dist.
I've always thought that cracking a Debian box isn't an easy
job :) especially with the security team's fixes. So what's
his point?
