It is a result of a huge amount of work by thousands of persons in the last 15 years to design, build, improve, operate the instrument, but also to work on the theory or simulation. For sure Debian has been used somewhere, just like Slackware, MS-DOS, HP-UX or any other system have helped at some moment. Just looking at one random website from one small subpart of the whole project to conclude about the Debian implication in the whole project just doesn't make sense. It is just like deducing that pelican helps the Debian project because it is used on the Debian blog. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurelien@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
