I've used Debian, as a user and then my own box, since Woody, but I've always run unstable, so I don't know what had less fixes. I would just like to say that the number of fixes isn't an indication of stability--the releases have had sometimes drasticly different lifecycles and each release has significantly more users, and so more critical reports come in. > By the way is there a distro out there considered as stable as > Debian's Stable.

The other distro's I've tried either I couldn't use the package management easily, or they broke on install--so I'm not objective ;) -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Generated by Signify v1.14.
