True, but hell, if darwin is right, we're derived from rats. Remember,
windows XP is derived from NT 1, there are many steps in development
after the initial push. Even coal can turn to diamond. So ancestry is
hardly a fair benchmark, sure I'm glad debian existed without it we
wouldn't be where we are, however they should really stop trying to make
distros. Software isn't like Grolch...

Day? I'm sure thats a conservative estimate.

Actually the 770 and 800 run on busybox
http://www.busybox.net/about.html which is derived again from debian.
