I found this review rather well written, and the author seems to have a pretty good understanding of debian. I didn't see any other posts about it, so hopefully this is not a duplicate. The review was posted in feb 19th. "While most reviews tend to focus on the installation and initial impressions of various distributions, I thought it might be of interest for readers to hear about the past couple of months dabbling in the meta-distribution known as Debian." http://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=review-debian Two particularly good quotes: "What distribution is complete without an exhaustive exploration of anarchism?" "With great power comes great responsibility" He also has some interesting criticism: "The awful truth is that if you want to run the latest software, or anything close to it, currently you have two choices on Debian: run Woody and use the wealth of unofficial backports or run unstable and churn through the frequent changes. This means that currently, there's next to no incentive to run Sarge, which will ultimately become the next release, since it's the worst of both worlds, old software, incompatible in some instances with the backports." -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer, lindows.com hyperpoem.net | GNU/Linux software developer people.debian.org/~mbc | encrypted email preferred "That government is best which governs not at all" - Henry David Thoreau
