I've been using debian for almost a year on my server at home, and close 
to 6 months on my desktop.  I have been following the debian-devel and 
debian-user mailing lists for a while though and I try and keep a tab on 
general debian development as well.  While I try to not use the terms 
'best' or even 'better' in terms of linux distributions, debian is 
definitely heaven for those who like their computers for the sake of 
computing.  (Sorry for all the emotion)  But, if you really like 
understanding how pieces fit together and you enjoy seeing the 
collaboration happen across continents and across platforms, debian is 
where it is at.  If you are looking for a linux where everything is 
transparent to the user and, well, 'rounded off' for lack of a better 
term, then some of the newer desktop distributions are your thing.  I 
think I lost track of what I was trying to say and switched into 
evangelist mode.  Well, just to reiterate, Wednesday's debian talk will 
be an introduction and a myth-breaking session.  Fun will be had by all.
