Hi,
While I have been using Debian Stable for years, I have tested
numerous linux distros ands *BSD and last year I switched to Archlinux
for several months. Eventually I came back to Debian Stable because
it does not need to be continuously updated, being not a rolling
release distribution. That is the sole reason.
To *me*, Debian is Unstable is not a rolling release ditribution: it
is a continuously modified test distribution and is nowhere near
Archlinux in terms of stability.
