Exactly _what_ is your qualification for debian being lumped in with hipsters? Some of us have used it as the most rock solid STABLE linux distro for servers and desktops for quite a long time.
As an aside, I miss some of the raw diversity that was present in the old Linux distros. Slackware was my drug of choice due to its steadfastly BSD flavor. I guess Slackware is still around, but have no idea what its status is and whether Patrick ever moved it over to system v-ish convention in order to be more like other Linux distros. I guess that distinction is even a bit anachronistic given all the fancy changes to the way init is done nowadays.
