"... why distributions such as Slackware and Debian are still around. And why Linspire and such are doomed to fail." And what pray tell might that reason be? Please share your enlightenment.

IMHO, Debian is still around because it embodies the spirit of community development. The names change, but Debian lives on forever. The have such a great, open, enduring process.

Meanwhile, Patrick V. is just one very determined, downright stubborn dude who refuses to go away in this age of mega-distros like Suse, Redhat/Fedora and Ubuntu.

2 very different reasons, but they both share one thing - very strong vision.
