Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.

The Debian definition of free is different too don't forget! But yea- your  
basically right. For the most part the Debian definition and the FSF  
definition align pretty well. I don't know that it would be any easier to  
base Trisquel off Debian or vice versa. It might be easier to base it off  
gNewSense if things can be aligned with that project. While I wouldn't  
discourage collaboration I'm not sure the gNewSense project and the Trisquel  
projects share the same target user base. I think you would need to go look  
back at why Trisquel moved to Ubuntu and why various distributions have moved  
back or considered moving back.

I think ultimately that both Debian stable & Ubuntu LTS have had instability  
and bugs. Ubuntu LTS releases do tend to have newer versions of many  
packages. Particularly programs that are desktop oriented. For that reason  
Ubuntu LTS tends to make a better desktop base. If you asked me Debian is  
better suited for the server than Ubuntu. Mainly because I have confidence  
that Debian will be around in 5 years. I can't say that about Canonical and  
Ubuntu.
