Well, it does; it's Unix-ish, and that's a good thing. It's also pretty much the same thing that one of the other market leaders has enjoyed great success with lately, Apple OS X. That "Debian runs older software" crap is a myth and a fallacy. Newer software is not inherently better than older software. With each release come new bugs. You merely trade the old for the new. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
