This is not considered as a "hate mail". The OP wanted incremental softwares all the time, go for fedora if you cannot distinguish between stable/unstable.
- - -> "Also, for work systems I always just use stable. I don't need the newest version if it means something might break. But I do feel like things are getting harder to keep up, like maybe "stable" is getting too old. It would be nice as you say to upgrade some of the big packages slowly, somehow, without breaking 100 other dependencies." <- - - Work systems, "if its critical" , use -s switch to avoid breaking dependencies. - - -> "But I would personally LOVE it if from now on Debian "stable" were just an incremental upgrade." <- - - Thats's why its stable, go for fedora if you want incremental upgrades. :-) kn On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 1:24 AM, Sven Joachim <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2011-02-14 19:59 +0100, Erin Brinkley wrote: > > > I don't appreciate getting hate mail from people simply because I was > > politely TALKING ABOUT DEBIAN on the debian-user list. > > That was hardly a "hate mail", though rather uninformed (for incremental > upgrades you don't have to move to other distros, testing and unstable > have that). > > > I don't know where you get your communications and people skills, > > Keshwarsingh Nadan, but if I were you I would take them back!
