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.
That could also be a sarcastic interlude in a distro debate. I have used something similar as such with a gentoo mate.
