DesktopLinux.com's executive editor recently decided to retire Red Hat 7 after seven years of loyal service as his home LAN's firewall/router OS. This article chronicles his trials and tribulations as he presses "pure Debian" into service, first as a server and then as a Linux desktop. Read the complete tale here.

"And even if you use the unstable (sid), the system works flawlessly without any major problems."
Eh, not so much. I've been burned using Debian Testing and Debian Sid. Both times by updates that rendered my system useless.
I use Debian stable on my server, and will continue to do so. As for desktop Linux, I go with Ubuntu or Slackware (yes, I know, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Slack).
