Allow me first to say that Debian or BSD can die, yes. But I can’t envisage any scenario in which Debian or BSD can die without Free Software being made illegal and a worldwide Martial Law being established by hostile aliens from some dorky kid’s imagination. Seriously, Debian, the *BSDs and RedHat/Fedora will exist, in some form or another, for as long as Free Software exists. They might change names, splinter into derivatives or merge into the One True Distribution, but the benefits of Free Software for Software Art and other code can be realised as long as there is still one Free Software Distribution.
