The 2004 LUG "Use Debian" Distro Awards are, as Nik says, drawing to a
close. For those who "Use Debian" already, there is little need to explain
why we are suggesting you "Use Debian". For those who have yet to "Use
Debian", then clearly you may be asking "why should I Use Debian?"

Oh, did I mention that I, too, "Use Debian".

Seriously though, all kinds of distributions have strengths and weaknesses.
Your requirements may lead you to something else, in which case, welcome. I
for one would value everyone's comments on which distribution they have
ended up with, and why.
