If I were to use it solely as a web machine, no problem, but I aim to move completely to the new OS, so the drivers have to be good otherwise the graphics performance stinks.  What's good about Debian is it supports a massive amount of platforms and a massive amount of drivers, so much so, there's even a dedicated version of Debian for the Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) - which is the official OS of that device.

For the price of a few Blu-rays, a complete noob can pick up a brand new Raspberry Pi and a ready installed Debian OS.  People can play with GNU/Linux easier then it's ever been possible to do, and all on a dedicated device seperate from their man box.  This is why I push such things, it's not just that it's default OS is Rapbian (Debian), it's that it takes away the scare factor a lot of people have about "Using Linux".

Absolutely duckiy, wonderful,outstanding.  Now the question you didn't ask, "Do I give a sh**?"  That I can answer, no.  Not now, not next year, not ten years from now. I have no idea what BluRay is, or if there even is such a thing, but guess it's either some kind of mindless entertainment device or maybe your music videos that you pay for, watch once, and pay again.  Raspberry Pi?  Better beat what my wife used to make or it's not worth a damn.  "Official OS"?  declared so by who?  And again, I don't care.  What you fail to see is I look at all of that crap as playbaby things, things I don't need.  I'm not one like you, if you were disconnected, you wouldn't exist.  I'm connected if I want to be, and disconnected if I don't.  OH!  Someone might steal my home phone number!  See if you can get me to answer it, that tells you how much good it will do you.  Or if I do answer it, try to get me not to hang up.  The things you seem to hold supreme, I discard as useless distraction.  I don't live in a silicon generated fantasy, I live in reality.  Nothing you mentioned existed 30 years ago, and we were better off for it not existing.
