and this is the reason why I use it on my private laptop: I want to know what will hit my servers with Debian stable in 4 years :)

Damn pirates.

Too many releases!

[pablo_max]

Seriously, why does linux have so many release cycles. That's one thing I didnt like about Ubuntu. It took me forever to get it running just the way I wanted and by then a new version was out and I had the pressure to upgrade..and of course..I had to set up everything again since invariably, it broke something.
It's funny how many people here bitched that windows was coming out with Win 7 so soon after vista, but they don't mind that linux seems to release something every couple months depending on the distro. Odd.

Moving quickly is the biggest strength of open source development. That and choice, so that'd be the two big strengths of open source. And the community.

Yes, our three main weapons are speed, choice, community and an almost fanatical devotion to freedom.

Re:Too many releases!

Exactly, the four best things about linux will always be speed, choice, community, freedom, and the fact that it costs nothing.

Fedora 11 has been out for two hours. You've already downloaded it, evaluated it, and switched some of your servers to a different distribution?

You work faster than anyone I've ever met. I am humbled by your awesome ability.

Wait, you were running servers using Fedora? Madness I tell you!

If you want a RedHat-like OS on a server why not install CentOS?
