And about the stupid sig file by MBM, I'd rather say that it's better to
look at Debian closely. If you are aware of it, you know it better that
Debian SID is the most upgraded and bleeding edge release.

I know about debian and its release cycles. However any distro that has this huge gap in versions between "stable" and "bleeding edge" has a problem or two in terms of usablity.


That, and Debian seems to have a few irritating peculiarities of its own - a bad habit of running daemons from inetd, another bad habit (?) of splitting perfectly good single file configs into multiple files so that debconf or whatever can control it, and then there's the config file names that tend to be different from what the config file name used by the actual package is - for example, exim.conf instead of "configure", etc. These make it different from every other linux that I've used.

The most irritating thing about debian is nothing related to the distro at all - it is the huge number of zealots who are far more closed mindedly fanatic about debian / gnu ideology etc than the people who are actually behind either debian or the GPL.
