I wonder why he picked Debian to slander. Debian Stable is after all
what ISV's would write software for and what VARS would be supporting
if they chose to install Debian. Debian's release cycle is what RH &
suse are switching over to. The difficulty must be something other that
ever changing libraries or whatever. He could have just complained
about older versions of software.
