Ah, sorry:  It was not my intention to imply that Debian is unique in
that regard.

However, given that......

.....perhaps my comment regarding 'a good first impression' can be seen
in the light in which it was meant.

Personally, I'm not too fussed the blobs and non-free stuff, but I can

them, there wouldn't be as much free software as we all currently enjoy.
All power to them.
