Excuse me, but I interpret what you say in two ways: 1) The current stable version (which I use) is "old"; 2) You thought I was using an obsolete version (potate or earlier). I don't know which is the correct interpretation, although your reference to "unstable" seems to suggest (1). I'm using the "newest" stable version. :) > I don't see how this is different in windows or redhat or anything > else. But, vendors don't sell Windows software that doesn't work on the current version of Windows XP. Perhaps, in your perception, the unstable version of Debian is "the" current version? :) If that be so, the name "unstable" is misleading, which has scared me off thus far.
