Debian 6 would not work for me. I installed it, but it would not recognise my ethernet card and therefore had no internet connection. They did not provide a driver that worked on the disk and since I had no internet connection could not get one. Debian 6 is the ONLY distribution in over ten years that I have tried where this has happened and I have tried hundreds of distros in that time. Currently I have LMDE, Kubuntu 11.04, Fedora 14, Magiea and openSuSE 11.4 installed and only Debian 6 is a dud. I have owned five computers since I began in Linux and never had a problem connecting either wired or wireless with the exception of Debian 6.
Say what you will about it being sta(b)le, but if it does not deliver basic functionality then it is useless, IMO.
