Re: Debian at the awards......

It is good to see Debian getting some recognition. Personally, I would not use anything else on a server, so I think Debian winning the Best Open Source Server Distribution is very well deserved!

Which reminds me, I must upgrade this server at some point. Hmm.

Re: Debian at the awards......

Anyone know what the other 7 categories and their winners are?
