 Must resist desire to mock Debian's release cycle....

 Ah, screw it. A new release every two or three years. A big difference
from Linux's "Release often" philosophy. But, as Steph says, you can run
woody (Archaic), Sarge (old) or Sid (flaky). And none have a software raid
installer by default. Meh.

 That said, "pebble", a compact-flash oriented distro is one of the best
distros I've ever used. If you are happy with Woody, and the backports.org
packages, it kicks ass.
