As said, I don't think that the real value of Debian could be quantify economically. I was quite unsure about put it in or not, just because - as Debian is the Universal Operating System - DPN needs to include various aspect of it, not only my personal view of what is Debian (or yours). But DPN is also a collective effort, and I'm totally fine with remove articles, if people of the team feel uncomfortable with them. > > As an humble member of the Debian users, as a free man, watch this > article on line seems like, hmm ;-) really depreciate our good OS. > > Please put it out ! > Just done, with great joy and pleasure, by David. Now, that you have found time to write about it, I hope you'll find time to contribute to DPN, as well: we always need help!
