I don't agree. I think "stable" is
I'm thinking tinker && reboot... If tinker fails, you really don't want to

Good point. Think about those folks who install an OS in an office suit.
There may be a dozen or more computers that need to work worry free. That's
where stable rules. Maintenance then isn't 'tinker & reboot', 'tinker &
reboot', but a check of system logs and a warm feeling that it's alright

we deal with it. i run cyrus imap 1.5.x and many other "old" packages
from stable. they are in stable for a reason..they are stable :)

was easy to maintain (e.g. apt-get). I really like apt -- it certainly makes
installing and downloading things a lot easier than other distributions.
However ... I'm not (yet) a heavy Linux user, and I find that a lot of times I
want softwar
