With Debian, stable releases are *old*. Potato is ancient, woody isn't even released and it's already old, and sid--well, there's a reason it's called "unstable". In contrast, Red Hat's stable versions do tend to have reasonably new versions of all the packages. Obviously, this can cut both ways, as RH has a tendency to give you *un*reasonably new versions of gcc, glibc, kernel, etc.... Having said that, I do run Debian unstable at home and haven't thought of switching out. On the other hand, my home machine doesn't do anything mission critical, so I usually don't mind if something breaks for a few days. -- Shimpei Yamashita http://www.shimpei.org/ You can't have everything.
