I believe you are exaggerating the problem, since if applied strictly, your line of thinking would make 1.0.3 final better than 1.1rc5, which I seriously doubt. In fact, if this is really your feeling, I can definately recommend debian stable! It may be a few years out of date on average, but it's definately considered to be a very stable distribution (although it does contain some packages in beta or RC releases), never mind... Simon
