While there are many distros based on Debian unstable or Debian testing, it 
seems to me that there are very few distros based on Debian stable.  I can even 
think of distros that were once based on Debian stable but are now based on 
Debian testing.  (MEPIS Linux, antiX Linux, and Crunchbang Linux come to mind.)

Why are distros based on Debian stable so scarce?  I know that Debian stable 
uses older software, but I would think that a significant percentage of 
computer users don't feel the need to have the latest and greatest software.  
Debian stable has advantages like being more lightweight and easier to keep 
up-to-date WITHOUT breakages.
