Debian and its clones "The Debian project is pleased to announce the second update of its stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0. This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustment to serious problems. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away 4.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update against ftp.debian.org after an installation, in order to incorporate those late changes. Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update."

I laugh at the folks who live on the edge, bleeding edge that is. I have many friends who has to have the latest and the greatest, yet wonder why their server isnt stable. Does it really matter that you have to run apache 2.2.345 when 2.2.2 is fine (ok i made those numbers up). Damn kiddies and their wishes. I'm an old timer and love having my server run rock solid.

Which is why I prefer freebsd to fedora or ubuntu but when i do run linux, i prefer debian!
