    3 Years is an insanely long time. That's why I run debian sid, which has had a new release in the 3 minutes that it took me to read your post and reply to it.

    A modern kernel by default and official support for AMD64 are huge reasons to move to Etch.

    Maybe, but by switching to 2.6, debian risks losing several users to slackware.
