Here's an interview with Debian's Branden Robinson. From the interview: "I think Debian's success stems from its dual commitments to userempowerment through free licensing of the works we distribute, and to high quality through careful design and integration decisions. Not everyone is a software freedom fighter, nor is everyone a software perfectionist but we can accommodate both of those passions pretty well. Debian is an exciting and rewarding place to be if you want to help shape the future of the Free Software landscape."

As the person who considered your statement naive (and still do), I'm curious to know what in the GNU/Linux world you do consider relevant if not Debian? You have said nothing to backup your statement other than try to flaunt your expertise with a very vague statement.
BTW, I do not think Ubuntu/Xandros/Linspire legitimatize Debian, but rather their combined popularity certainly make the platform quite *relavent*. Debian has and continues to be one of the most influential and well developed distributions in the GNU/Linux world. To call that irrelavent hardly seems fair let alone substantiated. Perhaps you can offer some more depth to your statement that can prove otherwise??
