No, it's a Debian *policy* issue. The problem is the absurdly long time between releases, so it's very hard to use stable on halfway-new equipment, or if you want halfway-modern functionality. (For instance, I'm being forced to "upgrade" [downgrade in stability] to testing soon, just because my new motherboard has hardware not supported by potato.) -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED]
