Re: [Trisquel-users] What is "stability"?

[onpon4]

Stability can mean many things. In the case of Debian, I think it just means  
that the software is well-tested and you can be sure that the system isn't  
just going to randomly break when you update; it doesn't mean that programs  
crash less frequently or work better or anything like that.

Debian's stable releases probably aren't any good for most people. Most  
people want more recent software that has recent bugfixes, new features, etc,  
and you won't get that with Debian. I've heard that Debian makes more sense  
for servers, though, and it might make sense for other systems that you don't  
want to update very often.
