"From professionals to professionals", I don't think Debian is home-user-ready,
but there're lots of people interested in working and helping on that direction
(like me, for one)... today I'd say Debian is for the power-user

"distributers"? I think the other repliers misunderstood this, or maybe I...
or better... maybe you =)
there aren't 800+ "distributers", there are 800+ registered Debian Developers,
which are persons offically working on Debian in a volunteer basis
yes, there's home for Debian it's called "earth" by americans, some people
say "world" to reference that home too... people around the globe have other
names for that home as well... I usually call it 'mundo', or 'terra' =)
