From debian-news... 
>The most recent Linux Journal covers the `1999 Reader's choice

>`Favorite Distribution'.  Debian GNU/Linux got 27.3% of votes.

I found this rather surprising... I expected Red Hat to win something like
this hands-down.  I have my reasons for running Debian, but I expected
visibility to make Red Hat the top choice.  

Maybe the crowd that reads Linux Journal is a bit different than the
average Joe that wants to try Linux.  I suspect that there are more Red
Hat hobby installations than anything else.
