I am new in debian, actually I never used it. I tried to install once but failed. Now I am using Fedora 2. But I need a more stable system, I don't want to update my system every two days. I need a neat, stable system.
I need to run matlab 6.1 and labview 6.1. Please give me some suggestion and reasons whether I should switch to debian.
I recently gave up on Fedora (after trying to move from RH9) and switched my machines over to Debian. What did you try to install? If you tried 3.0/woody, you should try installing 3.1/sarge/testing with the new installer. It does a much better job of auto-detecting hardware. See:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Or if you like the RH installer, see www.progeny.com. You still end up with a basically Sarge system.
