Let me preface my statements by saying that I am the architecture maintainer/developer for the S/390 port of Slackware. Debian, is a _very_ good Linux distribution. It has a tremendous community of maintainers/developers. If ISV certifications is not an issue for you, you won't be sorry for choosing it. Also, just because the stable branch tends to "lag" somewhat, doesn't mean you have to stick with that. Debian's "unstable" branch is fairly current, and equal to or better than most GA software from a lot of companies.

What is the experience of those of you on the list. Is it stable. I think I know that it may lag behind SUSE or Redhat a little generally but other than that how is the quality?
