Ummm...  I'm a relative newbie to the debian world, but I've got to 
admit that I've found it to be more stable than many "commercial" 
software packages, both of the windoze variety as well as commercial 
unix packages (supported SunOs, Solaris2.x, and HP-ux 11.x).  I've also 
found the "Debian Community" to be as helpful as "paid" support that 
I've had in the past.

Of course, this has nothing to do with your quesion/problem but I just 
thought that I would point out that no one is paying the "Debian 
Community" to put out this product and insulting the "Debian Community" 
certainly isn't going to get you any closer to a solution.
