Anywhere in the world I won't use Debian, because of the fact that packages shipped are modified and patched a lot. That means other people (packagers) are doing the job of developers, and like all people that doesn't do their job, sometimes errors happen (do you remember the PRNG?). We (as users) should require vanilla packages, or at least patched with patches from official developers (e.g. we have 1.2.0 bugged, meanwhile 1.2.1 is out we should have 1.2.0 patched). So, I'd suggest one that is fully-controlled by the community and where each people in the chain has the right job (developers should develop, and packagers should package), like ArchLinux, or another one of your preference. -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
