Well, the fact is, debian sucks. All it's 3 branches suck:
Stable - Who the hell would use sarge in 2006 on a desktop? Stable is crap, you get "stable software" but it's like 2 years old. Just to compare: debian stable firefox 1.0.7, if I'm not mistaking, freebsd - firefox 1.5 available in the ports, so I can compile it with more than 486 instruction set (like in debian) and compilation optimization, and also as a binary package. testing - compiled 486, not as current as freebsd package sid - no security patches, "unstable" as the name sugests, 486 compiled, almost as current as freebsd. Still no gnome 2.14 in debian sid, huh?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:P
