A somewhat tongue in cheek goal of debian has long been creating the
Universal Operating System, always understood as 'can run on any
machine'. Perhaps that should now be expanded, with some seriousness
(and acknowledgments to the translators: DD, non-DD, upstream
professionals and one-timers alike) to 'can be run by anyone on any
reasonable machine'?
