" NF: How "relevant" do you think Debian is these days? A number of
people have expressed the opinion, for example, that Ubuntu might be
making Debian obsolete -- I'm going to assume you don't share that
opinion, but how important do you think Debian is now?
AT: You can't say how "relevant" Debian is without knowing who you're
talking about. Someone who uses Ubuntu every day and loves it might
think Debian has no relevance whatsoever, but most of the people who
actually make Ubuntu are passionate about Debian as well -- e.g., Mark
Shuttleworth thinks Debian is relevant enough to have reactivated his
account and voted in this election.
Rather than making Debian obsolete, I personally think Ubuntu has done
an excellent job of bringing Debian's technologies and principles to
more people, and while the relationship between the two projects is...
complicated, I think it's still a healthy one and will only become more so."

What a weird question...it there was only one other distro based on
Debian I could maybe see that, but I can think of three without any
effort and surely there are more....
Seems Debian is the engine driving all these other distros. How do you
get more relevant than that?
