      I'm not claiming to be an expert but: Ubuntu is built on top of Debian with some different parts and added stuff. Ubuntu is more bleeding edge than Debian (unless you use Debian Sid). Ubuntu is supposely more user friendly and gear toward desktop. Debian is supposely gear toward server but I've used Debian as a desktop before and server. I mean all the magical stuff Ubuntu have you can install on to Debian.

  Now that is what i would call a "success story". How many distros can claim to be used in the space? :) I'm glad to see Debian being recognized for it's rock solid stability.

    NetBSD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBSD#Examples_of_use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBSD#Examples_of_use Agreed. The Debian developers should feel proud of the accomplishment.

    On a similar theme, the developers of matplotlib once got a polite enquiry about a bug report which mentioned that "the feature is needed for the Phoenix project, and their arrival at Mars will be in March sometime." Needless to say, the bug got fixed. A team from JPL is listed in matplotlib's credits for various improvements.
