Hi Manoj,

What do you recommend to actual or potential Debian users
with recent desktop or laptop hardware?  Sid?  Testing?
Stable?  A different distro?

We currently recommend and install Debian - mostly Testing,
with holes and obsolescences filled from Sid.  If you know
something better I'd appreciate if you'd share your wisdom.

Thanks,
