Regarding Debian: "[...] the "most-typical" Debian release is released about 2 years after the previous one (the often cited example of Debian Sarge being quite an exceptional event in Debian history), leaves users about 1 year to upgrade to the next one once this latter itself gets released, has (from release to the end of security updates) a total lifetime of about 3 years.": http://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases Regarding Ubuntu: "Normal Ubuntu releases are supported for 18 months. Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, LTS releases will be supported for 5 years on both the desktop and the server. " LTS releases come out every 2 years, leaving users 3 years to start testing/ upgrade to the next LTS. Upgrading LTS-to-LTS is part of this release schedule. Regarding Trisquel: 5.5 is based on Ubuntu 11.10. The upcoming 6.0 will be based on 12.04 LTS, you should not have to upgrade before, at most, April 2017 (to whatever other Trisquel-based-on-the-current-Ubuntu-LTS is available at the time). So, technically, if Trisquel 6 came out this month, you would not have to upgrade it before 4.5 years. tl;dr: if/when Trisquel 6 comes out, it will be the least risky, lowest-upgrade-path/least-problematic-upgrade, 100% server distribution available among the above 3. > But I have a question for the community (if you (moilami once again) allow me > to do this). I was thinking about Debian as my server OS, but then I thought.. it this a good idea ? I mean how easy it is to install non-free software ? Is there only a simple repository that makes the different between those two or are there non-free packages already included on an original and non modified debian installation ? [...] Regarding Debian's approval by the FSF as 100% free distribution, there is an ongoing effort.
