Oh, not this crap again. Or perhaps you're contending that I've not
gotten anything done at work in the last two years using my "useless"
Debian stable desktop.

Hint: there's more to "useful" than running the latest version of
everything. Particularly for a sys admin, who I'd expect to be heavily
command line oriented, and who doesn't need the latest 3-d games or dvd
player[1].

Okay, I am running Adrian Bunk's backport of Galeon/Mozilla (thanks,
Adrian). But that's it.
