Heh... I never can quite figure out why people keep asserting that
stable is too old for production systems. My servers are all running
either woody (the current stable) or potato (the old stable (Oh my
god! The software is three years old!)). Desktops are mostly RedHat
6 or so, with some potato, a very little woody, or X terminals
connected to a potato server. I have yet to receive a single
complaint from any of my users about the software being too old.
While I can accept that there are some people who need the latest
whiz-bang software to do their work, the vast majority of us don't.
