Similar situation has been here for a longer time. Now I upgrade via
satellite connection (dvb-internet).

I gave up recompiling packages since they were more and more
cross-dependencies between the package that would force me to recompile
the half potato distribution.

The same thing here. Especially one friende would change to linux and is
asking me for a while for a stable and up-to-date distribution (as a
complete CD set!), which I would use too (Debian). But Slink cannot
realy be recommended any longer since it already contained many absolete
components when it was released, and the same situation seems to be
repeated in the potato release.
Wake up guys, the time doesn't stand still, and the most people would
prefer a 95-percent-stable distribution NOW then a 99-percent-stable
distribution one year later. What about a general vote?
