    But what if… I took Debian, and disguised it as my own distro? Ho ho ho! Delightfuly devilish, Seymore!

      I daily Debian because I realized all of the distros I tried and liked were Debian based. That was 20 years ago.

        Ubuntu, Knoppix and MEPIS? I first used Ubuntu in 2006, but it was still very immature then. I didn’t really know much about any other Debian derivatives.

        The other big one that was popular was Mandrake but that was rpm based, and a bit later PClinuxOS which was Mandrake based. I didn’t think Debian derivatives were much of a thing then aside from Ubuntu.

          There are at least a couple of distros that are based on Ubuntu. Mint is a popular example. I’d say that based on Ubuntu means it is also a Debian derivative.
