    "dag" is an rpm repository:
    http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/
    This link gets you up and running. Basically you add the repo to your apt sources list.

    Hope that helps.

    having more releases doesn't force you to upgrade more often. What it does do is give you freedom to upgrade at times you choose.
    Actually, it does. Did you know that FC1 is already going into legacy mode, meaning no more updates for it?

    The principle of having frequent releases doesn't force upgrades in itself; a distrubutor dropping support does that, regardless of release frequency, and it isn't a reason for stating that frequent releases are bad.

    Yes, I do know that Red Hat don't support Fedora 1 any more, but it is supported by The Fedora Legacy Project. So nobody has to upgrade: they can just get their updates from there instead.
