Debian and its clones 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.

>>current debian stable is not what I'd want to run as a desktop<<

So run debian testing, or debian unstable. Any bleeding-edge distro is more likely to have stability problems than an older tried-and-true distro. Debian simply gives you a choice. BTW: on the desktop, I'm okay with that trade-off.

Debian can be just as bleeding-edge as any other distro.
