Subject: [Discuss] Meaning of the Debian Swirl

Fabio asked what the Debian Swirl means.

It’s “magic smoke”. Electrical engineer lore is that when you burn out
an electronic component, you cause the “magic smoke” that makes it work
to be released. Once the magic smoke is gone, the component doesn’t work
any longer. Debian is supposed to be the magic smoke that makes your
computer work.

Thanks

Bruce
