  1. Debian fizzles, Ubuntu shines by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Debian should be a giant repository and leave the releases to Ubuntu and Kubuntu. It's been a month and Debian shows little sign of getting the latest Gnome into Experimental much less anywhere else despite the fact Ubuntu packages have been ready for ages.

    If I didn't have 4 machines with Debian, I'd be using Ubuntu.

    Everybody (that bothers to post here) wants to look 1337. It's no different from the ever changing popular culture, where what's "in" today gets "old" tomorrow.

    For me, I'm staying with good ol' Debian.
