Okay, let's make a summary (+ is pro, - is contra):
- vanilla (2.2.20)
+ known as stable
- no framebuffer, so no lang chooser
(adding requires changes in kernel and evtl. in bfs)
- no support for modern hardware (harddisks controllers, network cards)
- no support for modern filesystems
- bf2.4
+ framebuffer, lang-chosser possible
+/- relatively stable, probably less stable as 2.2.x if you use new features
- compact
+ framebuffer, lang-chosser possible
+ (see vanilla)
-- (see vanilla)
- too few drivers for a default install, not even sound cards
- idepci (2.2.20)
++--- (see compact)
- almost limited to IDE and PCI stuff, but more stable on such
machines. Best/Only useable as fallback option for seldom broken
hardware, IMHO.
Change to bf2.4 on the first CD requires a swap of few bytes in
debian-cd, which needs a new release anyhow.
These are not real arguments, but a simple calculation. Not using bf2.4
on the first CD (*) is a shame.
(*) I do not say default. "Default" implies "the best working choice"
for most people, which is not true if you have (in useability) equal
options.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
