It's a flavor of Linux?

This survey seems half-assed....

That doesn't disqualify it from being an operating system.

It's not an operating system, it's a distribution of software other people wrote that comprises an operating system.

It's not even an original distribution of Linux at that, it's just downstream Debian plus some crappy GUI apps.

Yup, it's a Debian derivative, but I like how light weight it was and how easy it is to get it going from the liveCD.

I'm still on the last LTS, so haven't experienced the non-Gnome version yet.

You think Ubuntu is light-weight?

...what?

It doesn't use much disk, CPU, or brainpower.
