And every one of those developers is developing Open Source Code
available, by license, to ever linux user, including Red Hat, and yes,
even Cobalt.

Please tell us why you think Debian is more powerful than Red Hat.  And
while you're at it, you might want to define "more powerful" as well.

Interesting, yes.  And, btw, there are people actually working on these
projects, though personally, I agree with you, and I keep my RaQ3 as
as.  But I recommend the cobalt-developers list for people interested in
doing that, and I stand by my recommendation.

Please let me know why I should want a debian system.  Thanks.
