Hi, While I have been using Debian Stable for years, I have tested numerous linux distros ands *BSD and last year I switched to Archlinux for several months. Eventually I came back to Debian Stable because it does not need to be continuously updated, being not a rolling release distribution. That is the sole reason. To *me*, Debian is Unstable is not a rolling release ditribution: it is a continuously modified test distribution and is nowhere near Archlinux in terms of stability. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
