Just out of curiosity, and mostly because I *really* don't know about other "vendors" policy wrt update to their stable releases, in what do other distros fit your need of (I guess) the very last version of everything with the quite common expectations of stability, security and data integrity? So far, my (probably limited) understanding of many distros (and commercial Unix vendors) is that they ship their releases with a given version of each software and they do support it during the entire lifecycle of their product..... Do some of them really succeed in keeping up with bleeding edge versions of all software they provide as part of their products? It would be interesting to know this and also know *how* such miracles can happen so that the (unpaid) people who assemble Debian from about 10,000 different software can learn from these processes and try to improve theirs. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
