As stated, I've been using Etch (in "testing" mode) for close to a year now. Characterizing Etch as having the "latest" is a stretch by any measure. It is behind the curve of most of the popular distros' released versions -- versions that in most cases released in 2006. My hope is that the next iteration of testing (Lenny, I think?) returns to what I personally found to be the optimal balance between timeliness and stablility, up until (and at least for a while after) Etch was frozen. That won't happen until Etch is out the door. -- Michael M. ++ Portland, OR ++ USA "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream." --S.
