I know very well the Debian project History , Why do you think Ubuntu exist ?
To tell you the truth - I have absolutely no idea why Ubuntu exists. Considering how slow it is, how louzy the live-CD version is or how awesome distros like Debian Sarge or even Kanotix are I can only guess that the main explanation for the existance - and popularity! - of Ubuntu is the fact that it is promoted by the ressources of a multi-millionaire.
But if I am mistaken here, please enlighten me. In particular, please name me one, just ONE, advantage of Ubuntu over Kanotix?!
Also - what is it in the history of Debian that you are referring to? As far as I can tell, Debian is by far the biggest distro out there, all the best distros today (including Ubunutu) are based on it, it has the largest and best number of developers working on it, it is the fastest growing distro out there - only RH is more popular - and it has a fantastic set of self-imposed guidelines (Manifesto, Social Countract & Guidelines). I would say that Debian is a fantastic success, but you seem to suggest otherwise. What are you referring to
