You'll be hard pressed to find any distro that has stuff newer than 3
months old. 3 months is not a lot of time.
I mean,
I used a Debian-based distro a few months back, brand-new distro hot off
the mirrors, and it had OOo 1.1.2 on it! I mean, we're on the verge of
1.1.5
Budy, just are *micro* releases. They're not supposed to be major
changes. Mostly just bugfixes.
If you want up-to-date stuff, Deb is *not* the way to go.
This is silly. The choice of package format has nothing to do with how
recent the software is. Ubuntu has very recent software for example.
Debian stuff is two or more releases behind the rpm.
You really don't understand the difference between a package manager and
a distribution do you? Ubuntu has software much newer than Red Hat,
though Ubuntu uses debs and Red Hat uses rpm. And that's not a problem
with Red Hat for that matter. Red Hat is focused on a market that values
testing and reliability more than having the latest package.
