I agree also that there are more important things besides having the latest
and greatest. Debian Stable is what I use today and it has yet to fail me.
I can wait for the next release of (Woody) Stable because when it is
released I will have no doubt that it will work. Debians reputation of being
rock solid is what I want and how I found it to be great. Try using a half
baked distro that's released with annoying problems like I have had with RH
and MDK because they are trying to beat each other on the Desktop or by some
marketing race. I'll trust DB for my real work over the others any day.
The DB developers, etc, I am certain are doing their best to get things
right. DB separates itself from others by adhering to good standards. Its
that reason why I believe there is a delay because they are taking the time
to do it right the first time. It won't be perfect but it will be solid for
sure.
