Bom Dia, Miki! Todu bem? Quoting Ben-Nes Michael, from the post of Thu, 22 Jul: > > If you go for Debian use the testing branch ( Sarge ) and not the stable ( > woody ), I mistakly went for woody and now I need lots of backports.
a. I'm a bit conservative. for production servers I still stick to woody and sources like dotdeb.org that proved itself worthy. you COULD run workstations with unstable, but I would only do that if your users are knowledgable. b. in any case "testing" is usually a bit more broken than either stable or unstable. it's not for production, especially not servers. > > last, who has a more secure patching policy/practice, Mandrake or Debian ? Definitely Debian stable (woody). it has the backports carefully patched instead of frequnt upgrades following security hole discovery. I highly recommend it if that's all you need, or look at dotdeb.org for the latest PHP4 and PHP5, plus other sources at apt-get.org Auf weidersehen, Ira. -- Solid as a rock Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
