Be patient and wait for the next stable for all the newest features, well worth the wait.



Uh-huh.. Debian stable, with such things as <a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/mozilla-firefox" title="debian.org">Firefox v1.0.4</a debian.org>, <a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/xfree86-common" title="debian.org"> XFree86 v4.3.0</a debian.org>, etc, etc..



Debian stable should be renamed Debian deprecated. Sure it's stable, but only because it's ancient, and only for certain values of stable. It might be fine for grannie who probably still has Windows 95 anyway, but anyone who is the slightest bit interested in software won't stay on stable for long. Has it got a Linux v2.6 kernel yet at least?
