I am using squeeze for some embedded work. I like it. It remains to be seen if Debian is able to keep to some sort of sane release schedule. For 64Studio I still think that basing your release on the LTS makes the most sense. You have two years between each upgrade. I view the 6 month releases as development releases, not suitable for mission critical. > > If squeeze had frozen on schedule, that would have been a point in its > favour.
