I have converted to Debian 4 years ago. Never looked back, well actually did try RH, SuSe, Libranet. Have to admit, libranet came close. I run stable on all my servers. Unstable on my laptop. You do not want to run stable on a workstation, since most of the gnome/kde/X11 packages are ancient. Stable is for rock solid production server. $.02 Tomas
