This one always boggles me and makes me wonder if we should present Debian unstable or testing as the "typical" installation. Debian testing (and often Debian unstable) is more stable than the distributions with equivalent up-to-date libraries, and those distributions generally never offer anything remotely like Debian stable. (RHEL is considerably more unstable than Debian stable *and* has even older software, for example.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
