    I don't know about Linux, but I'll bet those NetBSD nuts are eager to try to make a Gamecube port. :)

    I've always been thinking that releases for Debian is kind of useless for those of us with permanent connection to the internet. I'm running Debian testing and I'm almost entirely happy with the stability of that.

    If Debian made yet another version that is a bit more conservative (say, a month testing instead of just days for "testing"), I'd recommend that to my friends instead of RedHat. There is no way I'll recommend them that outdated potato version.

    Releases deserve to die.
