Debian 2.x = stable. Stable is good. Stable is not always what you want. If it it not bleeding edge technology and doesn't work in the previous release of Debian stable, it doesn't work, never did, never will. Debian 2 was potato. Potato wasn't bad. I went straight to Woody (Debian 3.0) back when it was in early testing. My system is a Woody-Sarge blend now (version 3.0, with the next version's test code blended in). When I get the time I am loading Libranet's 2.7 release. I really can't wait. I just do not have enough hours in the day!
