    Whoops, missed that one. Ok, I got it.  Hey cool: they use Debian as
    thier base. That's nice - then you're sure the stuff is pretty stable.
    So now we have  
    
      Debian GNU/Linux    <- Monolithic kernel
      Debian GNU/Hurd     <- A microkernel  - GNU Mach + translators
      Debian GNU/FreeBSD  <- A microkernel? Defently a BSD :-) 
      Debian GNU/NetBSD   <- A microkernel? Defently a BSD :-) 
      Debian GNU/VMS      <- Well, there's a rumour at least. 
      Debian GNU/MacOS    <- BSD on a Mach micro kernel, but called Fink 
    
    Beat that Red Hat, SuSE, TurbuLinux, Slackware, Mandrake, ... 
    And the best thing about Debian: There's no company selling you
    yibbayaba, and it's what all the pro's use :-) 
    
    Oh, and it seems that Libtool does support upto MacOS 10.1
    at least. Nice.  I like that Fink project (must have read about it in
    DWN at some point, but have forgotton).  Now, if we can get Apple to
    open the souce code, we can really get a true `Debian
    GNU/Mac'. Wouldn't that be cool. 
    
    (oh, and I forgot this too :-)
    
    Yours,
