Re: Debian 7

[Thore <thore@datensumpf.de>]

Hi,
I use wheezy  on my Servers.
If you have no poeple who needs the server every time (like in 
business). Than you can use wheezy.
The mailserver would run on Squeeze too, but I have no bigger problems 
with the System (1/2 yeahr 1 bigger error coused by munin)
I use wheezy, because of Xen.
If you only want to use a mail server than use Squeeze. The Software is 
not much newer.
If you want to use virtualisation then think about wheezy.
So think about it, what do you need more, a system that runs stable or 
a  system with the newest software.
Otherwise, wheezy would be stable sometime (long this time couldn't be 
anymore) so then you have unstable (Squeeze) Wheezy is Stable.
And you can't change easy (and you don't want that "Never change a 
running system").


When the server is just for you, or other poeple who can life with 
downtimes think about wheezy
if not use Squeeze
regards
Thore
