Funny. "It runs the hacking distro."

To anyone that doesn't know, distros largely have specific purposes. One of the primary uses of Debian proper is hardware hacking. This is where a lot of the undocumented nonsense hardware and new unsupported hardware gets worked on by kernel module developers. Like, if you need to get into a bootloader to build Linux from scratch, Debian has the tools and documentation to bootstrap. By saying, it runs Debian, it really means, it barely works at all and is at an extremely early phase, like a proof of concept at best.
