Of the lot, I think the Ubuntu family does best in expressing orientation - the various flavours clearly identifying them. As for the others, how different (from a user experience point of view) is Gnome running on Debian (note the lack of extra potentially volatile terms :) fro Gnome running on FC from Gnome running on <your favourite distro here> ?
True, it sounds a lot more serene, calm(and i mean really calm) and keeps one from getting emotionally hyper(whichever ideology) and seems to be quite acceptable.
On the server side it's always better to talk in terms of stacks or
services and the packages that provide them
that works for me.
Gabin, i guess this thread won't be that after all ;-) Your two drops seem to be those of sacred water and seem to have created a peace around an ever heated topic :-) i hope i did not speak too soon ;-)
Philip,

Using the GNU/ to imply freedom is a noble cause, and well worth it, but is it right to use the GNU/ prefix to sell an OS that isn't completely Free?
