No, it is elitist to say, "Debian is the only good distribution, the only truly
GNU/Linux distribution worth having.  All others are for the uneducated masses,
who don't care about being right.  We are smarter and better than they are,
because we choose Debian - all hail the mighty Debian!"

That would be elitist.
