Or if you really need the lastest and greatest, use Debian Unstable. I haven't had problems with it for years now. Gets security updates as fast as stable, and has the latest versions.We did an apt-cdrom & apt-update from Steve's DVDs to my Testing install last night, bringing the setup forward a month in age and easily too. The sources.lists has the disks as "unstable", so I've a testbase of what Lee's referring to now also, It seems. No problems so far. Quite the opposite.
I have my desktop and laptop on unstable and my servers on testing. No sense waiting a year (or two or more) for new versions.
Tim & I concurred that the feeling of running Debian/Gnome is somehow different to Ubuntu, in terms of modernness? sophistication? smooth & clean environment? robustness? something ineffable..
Anyway, good luck with Debian Shane. Well recommended.
