[ILUG] Which Distro ?

[John Orford]

With Debian you get exactly what they offer - they call their releases 
unstable/stable etc. for a reason!

Debian testing seems about as up to date as Suse 9.1, and probably the latest 
releases of other Debian based distros...

To be honest I don't think most Linux distros differ much, as they are mostly 
based upon the same code...  From what I have heard cutting edge Gentoo is as 
or more flaky (funky compile options) than unstable Debian...
