Debian and its clones "With Etch you get the best package manager around in APT, a rock solid stable system, and the ability to tinker with the desktop all that you want - without having the procedure become too arcane. If you are familiar with Linux then I would strongly recommend you try out Debian Etch - just an awesome release by the Debian group."

Best release in a long time

I have used Debian on and off since potato, and for me, this is easily the best Debian release since that time. It looks good, installs perfectly on various boxes and laptops I have, and seems stable and fast. From my perspective, the Debian devs worked very, very hard on this release and it shows. Great job. It's going to be my new general desktop OS.
