I really shouldn't be contributing to this thread since it is starting to go off topic, but I develop almost exclusively under Debian sarge/stable. At some point I will upgrade to Debian testing again, but not until I need a new version of something that isn't available in stable. I _highly_ recommend Debian, under the following conditions: 1) Your hardware is vanilla. 2) You are comfortable with solving some install problems (for example, the Debian installer did not handle my mixed scsi/ide system correctly; but I easily fixed this by editing devices.map). -Ales
