excellent points, and sorry about the snippage. i just wanted to add
that stable also very adequately accommodates compiling bleeding edge
source, at least on two apps i've compiled over the last two days, dillo
and sylpheed, which run quite fine at the moment; so it's not that huge
a con to run stable.
i've also seen repeated reference to stable as the recommended
development platform, for obvious reasons.
i run it on a quirky-ass persnickety sony laptop, a pcg-z505, renowned
for being just plain difficult, but stable (woody) lives up to its
appellage as such.
