what's an OS on the front page

[Josip Rodin <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>]

Hi,

Will anyone mind if I remove the sentence explaining what's an operating
system from the front page? Ignoring the fact Debian is hardly the type of
thing people who don't know what an OS is should be dealing with, I figure
there are probably more techies visiting our web pages that wonder what's
GNU/Linux than non-techies that wonder what's an OS. And the latter can
always click on "Read more".

The main reason this bothers me is that a lot of external sites use our
initial paragraph for their description of Debian, and that always includes
the OS definition which sounds pretty stupid...
