I just visited the url mentioned. I see no place to 'vote' for Debian on
that site at this point. The voting seems to be on the issue of whether
slashdot should include movie reviews.  It is likely too late to vote on
the Debian-Redhat issue there. 

Note that everybody in the world sells Red Hat, Red Hat actively promotes
itself by advertising, and there doesn't seem to be any commercial effort
to promote Debian. I conclude that this vote is at least a moral victory
for Debian, if not more than that. 

BTW: Congrats Ian, and Kudos to Bruce, for a job well done.
