The exceptions are very rare, I mentioned those. Even an "apt-get dist-upgrade" is rather painless - the equivalent of which on RedHat or SuSE has always gone badly wrong for me. Yes, stable may be outdated - but it's *stable* and does it's job, which is exactly what you want in a server. The current stable is about to be replaced (woody -> sarge), sarge is what I'm currently using on several desktops. It's quite recent, it's quite stable, but still does move a bit (lots of stuff to download when updating). Unstable, which is often said to be more stable than certain other distro's "stable" versions, well I've had bad suprises with that one myself, which is why I don't use it at all. If I want bleeding edge, with good docs, I'll go Gentoo thank you very much - which of course is a lot more work. Still, next occasion I'll give FreeBSD a run (again, I've used it before). Greets Eric
