From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why does every distro HAVE to be "user-friendly" and bow down to the lowest common denominator? Debian is kinda known for being a bare bones OS designed for you to dig in and fuck around with. You want user friendly, there's Mint and Ubuntu. I have no problems navigating their website, but then again I grew up in the web 1.0 world and I'm used to it.
IMHO, the OpenBSD and Slackware sites are both bare bones, web 1.0 websites that are straight forward in a way that Debian's site is just not.
