Re: What Linux edition we should chose?

Hi,

I run debian/testing since years and it is the best in my opinion.
Besides the fact that new versions come in quite fast (after the wait
phase from unstable to testing) the upgrade for major versions (eg 8.3
to 8.4) is very simple as it does not override the old files but does
a parallel install.

This is something I do miss from the RPM versions. Because if you do
not dump the data before you upgrade, you are quit screwed.
